POLITE NOTICE: PLEASE ONLY LEAVE BOOKS IF THERE IS ADEQUATE SPACE.

Unfortunately a number of books had to be taken out and thrown away today as they had been severely damaged by being left on the floor of the phone box in the cold wet weather and others had also been damaged by where people had tried to force books onto the shelf.

We must please ask that books are only donated if there is space to do so, if the shelves are full please do not pile books on the floor etc. we try to tidy the phone box as often as possible and to keep the shelves as efficiently organised and full as possible but it disheartening to constantly battle the mess.

If the phone box is full please keep hold of your donations until there is space (the books get taken very regularly so space soon frees up) or consider donating to Ickworth NT second hand bookshop.

We must also ask that only books are donated, we’d love to accept other items but there is simply not space so please take dvds, home decor and similar items to the charity shops.

Many thanks,
Chedburgh Telephone Box Librarians.

Thank you for the recent donations, the library is filling up again after a bit of a sparse summer!

A friendly request if we may: please try to deposit books as neatly as possible. Although we regularly pop by to tidy up it would be so helpful if books weren’t left as shown in the first picture as this can damage the books. There’s plenty of shelves to use.

A polite reminder: please make sure there is space when donating books to the phone box. If the shelves are full please wait until there are spaces or alternatively you can donate books to the second hand bookshop at Ickworth House.

We’re so grateful for all donations but we don’t have any storage for an excess of books (and we need the floor clear for people to be able to browse) so we have to store them in our own home.

🌱 Seed Swap Tin 🌱

The seed swap tin will be back in the phonebox this weekend. Filled with lots of seed too! March is the perfect time to start sowing those veg and flowers on a sunny windowsill or in the greenhouse.

📚BOOK OF THE WEEK 📚

The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith

If you’ve been enjoying the Strike series on BBC1 recently why not delve into another of the intriguing cases of private detective Cormoran Strike and his sidekick Robin Ellacott.

“…Several months after solving the Lula Landry case, Cormoran Strike is asked by Leonora Quine to locate her novelist husband Owen, a controversial figure whose attempts to recreate the success of his first novel have failed. Owen disappeared around the same time his latest book, Bombyx Mori, was leaked.”

Have you made a New Year’s resolution to read more?

Why not pay a visit to our village book exchange and pick up your next great read! It looks like this weekend if going to bring snow so it’s the perfect time to curl up with a good book and the last of the Christmas chocolates! Books for all ages and interests.

Please note we have temporarily removed the seed swap tin in order to accommodate the number of books we have. We will put it back after the winter ready for spring sowings! We’re hoping to add more shelving soon to help with the space issues we’ve had.

Once again a huge and heartfelt thanks for donating and using the little phone box library! ♥️

Are we feeling festive?
