A huge thank you to members of the St Andrew’s community who have donated books, given their time to sort these and so much more. We still have a large number of books to sort so if you can spare an hour or two on Wednesday, please come to the Church hall between 9am and 12 noon.
We also need volunteers on the weekend of the event, particularly people to sell books – if you can lend a hand, message us or let Karen know at the office.
