BOOK SHOP NEWS
The Friendly Bookshop
“The Friendly Bookshop” is now fully open, well-stocked and awaiting your custom!
Many thanks go to the residents of Burbage for the generous donation of thousands of books of all kinds, and bookcases that were badly needed. Books are 50p minimum each except for gift sets which come at a slight premium, but any larger donation will be much appreciated to help us to keep our library open.
Carole Kemp of the library said, “All of the books are now shelved and put in author order for everyone to find easily. There are plenty to choose from; fiction, cookery, gardening, biographies and many more. Most authors seem to have a book in there of one sort or another so hopefully we will cater for all and of course, there are plenty of children’s books from birth to teenagers as well.”

Amazon Smile
Did you know by using Amazon Smile...
...0.5% OF THE NET PURCHASE PRICE FROM ELIGIBLE AMAZONSMILE PURCHASES TO BURBAGE COMMUNITY LIBRARY... AND IT COSTS YOU NOTHING!
All you have to do is next time you shop at Amazon, type in the URL smile.amazon.co.uk and then ‘Login’ to your Amazon Account and follow the on screen prompts …
In the ‘Or pick your own Charitable Organisation’ search box type Burbage Community Library (not case sensitive) and again follow the onscreen prompts.
If you use the URL smile.amazon.co.uk every time you shop at Amazon they will donate 0.5% of the net purchase price from eligible AmazonSmile purchases to Burbage Community Library, so it’s a good idea to ‘Bookmark’ this. …
Whilst 0.5% may not seem a lot, as a charitable organisation, ‘every penny counts’ and periodically Amazon improve this … for example they recently increased it to 5% for a short period of time.
Burbage Community Library Management Committee would like to THANK YOU for taking the time to read this and hope you can help us benefit from Amazon’s donations …
