As people start to social distance and in, some cases completely isolate, I’ve put together a collection of books and DVDs which anyone is welcome to take. They are placed on a small bookcase outside my home, 8 Sycamore Cottages.
Whilst I am well and have been social distancing for over a week now, I have spritzed the items with alcohol spray just to make sure. Fellow villagers are also welcome to take, swap and leave their own books and DVDs.
My favourite genres are a bit dark so you’ll find mysteries and gothic horror mostly with a few biographies, memoirs, historical fiction and lighter topics. DVDs include musicals and Downton Abbey.
It would be nice if any has spare children’s books to leave them for other villagers who are homeschooling. A spritz of spray on all donations would also be appreciated but I’ll check throughout the weekend too as it’s meant to be bright and clear so I’ll keep it out until Sunday evening.
In a couple of weeks, I’ll repeat the exercise.
Stay well, stay strong and look after each other.

Caroline, I have two boxes of books that were waiting to go to a charity shop, mainly novels, if they are any use for your library.
I have nothing to disinfect them with, but the boxes have not been opened for at least a week, so another week and they should be safe untreated.
Hi Peter. If the weather is good next weekend, I’ll put out another batch so any contribution you can make would be fab!
