We run book related monthly meetings where local people can bring surplus books, take away any books from our shelves and socialise with other over refreshments. We also invite local authors to talk about their books. Currently we open from 11-4pm on the 3rd of every month and operate book boxes in surrounding villages. We will next year also support authors to go into the local primary school and donate books to the school as well.
