Any charity shops still taking books?

Recommended Posts

I have a vast amount of unwanted books following a clearout, including loads of cookery books.


A few weeks back I took some bags of things to the larger Hospice shop, including some books, and they said they were no longer taking books (although no signs to this effect as far as I could see) although they did take those ones.


Does anybody know of a charity shop within reasonable distance which is still taking books and preferably has somewhere to park? Does the Oxfam book shop in Herne Hill take them directly, or are they supplied from books taken to other shops?

I found today that there is a plan to raise money for Forest hill Community , they plan to open a new shop Leaf Groove .

"A fantastic space selling books & records to generate income for the community library scheme. A home for culture, art & the written word. Leaf & Groove will be a new hub for the community in SE23."


I asked before and you can leave the books at Forest hill library .


I ll do on tmw ...:)

    • @Jellybeanz Food poisioning can take 4 hours or so for the symptoms to become apparent. you mention and I quote  "This incident was most defintely the ice-cream or the person serving it having dirty hands or gloves" I think that is a sweeping assumption again pointing blame at the cafe. Kids and adults can be violently sick out of the blue for any number of reasons..I've had situations where I have eaten the same as my partner prepared in our own home and then been sick once only-he was ok and after I'd been sick I felt fine. I feel you're very quick to point the finger at a local establishment frequented by many with a good hygene rating. To mention the other thread where you slated a local buisness because you and your child disliked their vegan hot chocolate (or something like that...)..It was'nt to you or your childs taste-fine don't blame the establishment. I'm fussy about coffee and matcha latte some places do coffee I enjoy and ditto Matcha latte-I would not post on a public forum that XXXX's matcha is rubbish because someone else may favour it. one mans meat is another mans poison as they say and my personal taste does not give me good reason to slate a local buisness (except in the case of a certain chain 'on the lordship' which is frankly all round pretty meh.  
    • I think we can agree trees are fantastic, beautiful and a welcome part of our environment... the issue occurs as Nigello stated above when they aren't cared for or pruned regularly. When they cause damage to payments and property that isn't right, and unfortunately as trees mature - particularly some varieties - they show that it really isn't practical for them to be planted in close proximity to properties.
