We would like to say a big “THANK YOU!” to everyone who came along to our annual Book and Postcard Fair at St John’s Hall last week. You all helped to raise £1580 for the library, for which we and all our members are really grateful.
It was an early start for the first team on site – 7:45am – Annabelle, Mike and Alan were outside St. John’s hall ready to start unloading, preparing, directing stallholders, dishing out floats and all else the day entails. As well as the stallholders and the excellent team of willing volunteers (thank you all), we had over 450 visitors, who shopped, browsed, and partook of the raffle in the hall, and ate & drank in the cafe. The event was busy all day, with Jenni sat stoically in the entrance hall collecting donations (which were up on last years by a pretty penny). Thank you all once again for a brilliant day – hall is booked again for the same time next year! Thanks for the photographs Maike.
Annual Book Fair
Come one come all! The Morrab Library Book + Postcard fair 2012 is this Saturday. There’ll be books galore: Old + new, from cheap paperbacks to collectable first editions. There will also be food + drink, a raffle and lots of vintage and collectable postcards. Pass the details on to all your pals and anyone you think will be interested. See you Saturday!

On Saturday 22nd September, we’re holding our annual book & postcard fair at St John’s Hall. This event raises money for the library, through renting stalls and selling books, and is a good opportunity for us to encourage new members to join. We also rasie funds by selling refreshments on the day.

Can you help by supplying us with some sweet or savoury snacks? We have the sandwiches covered, but anything else would be much appreciated. If you are able to help out, please pop in to the library and let us know or comment on this post telling us your name and what sort of dish you are bringing. Then just bring it in to St John’s Hall on Saturday morning (22nd Setember.) Thank you very much.

We’re also keen to recruit any volunteers to help on the day – if you could spare an hour to do a bit of washing up or serving then we’d be very grateful. Please see Annabelle or Alex at the desk for details on this. Thank you!
