Good news for book lovers!
We’ve recently installed new book exchange boxes at five popular locations.
Readers can take any books they like the look of and they can also donate books to the exchange boxes.
The boxes are already filling up with a wide variety of books from modern novels to history and reference books.
Thank you to avid reader Madeleine Norman, who suggested the idea to us!
Thanks also to the Hopetoun Men in Sheds and members of our own team, who carried out the work.
The boxes have been placed at locations to benefit both locals and tourists:
Happy reading!
