Default Dynamic name range for use in data validation

I'm trying to include a drop down data validation in a series of cells on 1
sheet, which generates the list based on a 'library' list in a 'library' tab.
The idea is that they change the library if they want to add a new item
rather than introducing new items all over th place.

Is there a simple way to have the list generated from a dynamic range? I.e.
the list is initally from A1:A5, but if the user goes into the library tab
and adds an item in A6, or inserts a row and enters data, the data validation
list picks this up?

(For note I've already got macros on this excel sheet based on changeevents.)

Thanks.
