Q: How do you build a library with zero book budget?

A: With bucket loads of generosity and a crack team of amazing volunteers.

Over our 30 years, we’ve had literally thousands of pre-loved books donated by people. We’ve also had lots of volunteers working with publishers to get complimentary hot-off-the-press books onto our shelves. We’re a Library fuelled by kindness.
