Q: How do you build a library with zero book budget?
A: With bucket loads of generosity and a crack team of amazing volunteers.
Over our 30 years, we’ve had literally thousands of pre-loved books donated by people. We’ve also had lots of volunteers working with publishers to get complimentary hot-off-the-press books onto our shelves. We’re a Library fuelled by kindness.
Ok, like a lot of you, we are new here! Hello to all of our new followers, some of you we already know from Twitter, hi! What would you like to see from us here? What sort of content should we share? <3
