We are desperate for good quality fiction (paperbacks) and non fiction. Books need to be in good condition and not too old! The unwanted Christmas books and the ones that have been read over the festive season are ideal for selling. Books can be taken to Trebah Lodge ( at the garden entrance by the road), the visitor centre (during opening hours) or the Hammer n Hoe (opening hours).
I would love to top last year’s total so we need lots of support.
