Bored of your books and wondering what you’re going to do with the library closed? Histon Library Friends (HILF) have got the answer! Over the next few weeks we will be running a “bookcycling” service. Our monthly book sales will be held online in our Facebook group (HILF) from our stockpile of books, puzzles and DVDs.

Simply browse the pictures of books, decide which ones you fancy and email hisimplibraryfriends@gmail.com by midnight on the Sunday. It’s first come, first served.

Your order will be picked and parcelled up on the Monday, and delivered to your doorstep (by bike or foot) on Friday after spending the week in quarantine. We want to spread the joy of reading, so there’s no charge. But if you feel able to make a donation that would be great. At our normal book sales it’s 40p per book, 3 for £1.

And if you’re worried about the library, watch this space! There are plans afoot to keep the village connected to the library services while the library is closed.
