FREE BOOKS FOR CHILDREN

WHY? : I have always been a book lover and have had the privilege of having books in my life. As literacy rates plummet to an all time low, it has never been more important, than to spread the joy of books, one book at a time.

SO FAR: The wonderful people of The Book Club, Beeston and the fabulous and supportive people of Beeston and surrounding areas, have helped me give away 600 gift-wrapped books to children, so far.

We gave away these books, one day a week from a not-for-profit, market stall. Can you imagine, with your help, what we could do from a shop? A shop open, 7 days a week, initially leading up until Christmas. Bringing books and gifts, to all you book lovers and continuing to give, children's books for FREE.

HELP PLEASE: Books bring so many people such joy, pleasure and escapism. As a reading community, I hope we can come together, to fund a not-for-profit, community shop for Christmas, selling new, heavily discounted books, pre-loved books: £1 for paperbacks, £2.00 for hardbacks and book lover's gifts enabling us to continue giving FREE books away to children, now and into next year and for years to come.
