At an average of over 50 books per week, at least 12,500 books have been delivered/taken for re-reading.

its now restocked once again for the weekend. With the Christmas holidays, expect lots to be taken!

The highest demanded are fiction paperbacks - Dilly Court, Lee Child, John Grisham, etc and any children's books

Lowest interest... foreign language, large coffee-table, damaged, wet, old, grubby, specialist interests......

Strangest thing to happen? Someone recently rubbed out the contact names and acknowledgements from the front window. ........ so here they are:
Juliet Townsend for her artistry
Sidmar Electrical for the solar-powered electric light - still working 5 years on!
TnT Gutters & Maintenance for repainting, waterproofing (hint,hint)
Ben Reynolds for his carpentry 5 years ago!
Earls Colne Parish Council for their continued financial support.

Reminder.... if you have more than a few books to donate - please do make contact so collection or drop-off can be arranged to keep the book exchange tidy and accessible!
