Burnage Little Free Library

Burnage Little Free Library has been set up so we can all share and enjoy our love of books and reading.

You can take any books you like and if you can please bring books in return so we can pass on to more people.

Had a long overdue tidy up before hopefully doing a bit of work on the library today, and found a signed copy of Meet Me at the Surface by local author . Now I know Jodie has dropped a different book at the little library and the same as this one in a Heaton Mersey little library recently so maybe this one had found its way to us!

Sounds like a great read so come and get it whilst its available!

Hopefully I will be able to give the little library a spruce up today so if you pop by and want a chat about books, or setting up your own little library do come and see me I will be round and about all day.

🖌Made the most of some ok weather yesterday to start painting the new wood for the little library.

🔨You may have noticed that the paint has peeled on the library and I thought this was a good chance to add some marine ply to the existing cupboard to make it nice and waterproof.

Of course looking at the weather it's grim for the nezt 2 weeks! ☔️☔️ so it may take a while to get it sorted, but at some point soon the library will be out of action whilst I give it a spruce up.

Let's hope for some 🌞 very soon.

The library has been nice and busy this Easter so I have had a fill up today. It didn't need a tidy though, as everyone has been great at keeping it tidy and shutting the doors recently, so thank you.

Just a quick reminder that we dont accept text books, I noticed a fair few had been popped into the box and they were also no in great condition. As text books go out of date so qu**ky I just put them in the recycling so save me a job and don't drop those off please.

The Grinch has visited the little library! Unfortunately he only left half a cup of coffee 🤣🤣

Hope everyone has a brilliant Christmas and dont forget if you get a book you don't like bring it to the little library. Or maybe you didn't get a book at all!😱🫨 the pop along and grab one!

Lovely vistor to the little library today!

Looked out of the window this morning and the library door has been left open.

I think this mainly happens when younger children use the librray but before they have finished their grown ups walk away and the children don't think about closing them.

If you spot to the doors open at anytime please close them for me.

I know that all those books on the left are soaked now but I didn't have time to take them out of the library this morning. I will have to see later how many I can save.

Please, please make sure the latches are used and this will avoid waste and the library will also last longer.

It's almost Halloween, and for the 4th year, I will be giving out books as well as sweets. Come along on Friday evening. I will have a sign up when I have run out!

It really is one of my favorite things to hear when one of the trick or treaters exclaims, "I got a book as well," with a big smile on their face.

Some of the books I will be gifting are from a donation of books from Tesco to .

Lots of little libraries on the trail have benfitted from the books.

Update on the books being raided from the library!

I believe this is what happened to Sunday's books. I have no idea what happened to Tuesdays!

Book burning has such awful connotations, and I wonder if whoever did this knows that or is oblivious.

So the library has books in at the moment, but I will not be refilling it for the time being.

I'm not sure what's happening, but on Sunday and now this morning, I've found the library open and lots of adult books gone.

Sunday, I got back late and noticed it was open and thought maybe someone just took a lot and forgot to shut.

This morning, lots of books I had refilled with were gone, there was a book on the floor and then one down the street on top of a bin. Couldn't see any others strewn about. Of course, those 2 books were ruined, and one was a brand new book, which is frustrating.

If anyone has spotted anyone dumping books etc pleasd let me know. I won't fill it back up for a little while, so what's there is it for now.
