Second Hand Books<\/span> – <\/strong>We would like to thank everyone who has donated their pre -loved books to us since we established our Community Library. They have been a constant source of income for us; the Horse and Jockey, the Wenvoe Arms and the Copthorne Hotel plus the people of Wenvoe have all helped us.<\/p>\n

We have to cover our fixed costs, so we do need to generate income. As you will realise, we have been unable to sell these books since the beginning of lockdown, so we have re-donated them to Oxfam and the Cancer Research. We are confident you will agree they have gone to good homes.<\/p>\n

When we eventually return to normality and our library doors are open again, we will happily receive your books; meantime can we ask you to store them for us. When you donate books can we ask you to ensure they are ready to be put on display and very \u201csellable\u201d. Once again, a big thank you<\/p>\n

Sylvia\u2019s Book of the Month<\/span>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

10 minutes 38 seconds in This Strange World<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

by Elif Shafak<\/p>\n

This book has a different starting point. The central character Tequila Leila, is dead in a metal rubbish bin with rusty handles and flaking paint. BUT don\u2019t let this put you off. The story is set in Istanbul; the vivid descriptions are so good, and the book ends on a note of redemption and hope.<\/p>\n

The 10 minutes 38 seconds of the title are Leila\u2019s consciousness ebbing away. For each minute after her death she recalls a sensuous memory from her bittersweet life. Each fading memory brings back the 5 friends who were so dear to her throughout her life in Istanbul.<\/p>\n

There are some bleak times described, but it is well worth reading and I would definitely recommend it<\/p>\n

\n

Click and Collect<\/span> – <\/strong>We have had a successful launch. If you wish to order a book and don\u2019t know how to order, call us between 10 am and 12 noon on Tuesdays or Thursdays and we will do our best to help you. When your book has arrived, we will call you to make an appointment to collect the book. The return of books can be anytime between 10 am and 12 noon on Thursdays without an appointment. There will be a box in the foyer for you to drop your books into.<\/p>\n

\n

Storytime on Facebook<\/span> <\/strong>\u2013 This has been very successful with stories and songs being put on our Facebook page. We have had over 250 views and likes from as far away as Australia, New Zealand and Singapore with very favourable comments. Stories are in both Welsh and English. In order to keep the momentum, we need more participants. An introduction to a favourite book or a story of your own would be wonderful. Please bear in mind that we need to work within the copyright parameters. For further details email us at the library address<\/p>\n

(above) and we\u2019ll get back to you. If you would like us to video your story outdoors, we\u2019ll happily come and do that on location.<\/p>\n

\n
