Sandy Lane Book Swap Lymm

Sandy Lane Book Swap Lymm We have adopted a rather scruffy modern BT phone box and converted it into a book swap for the local community.

Please feel free to donate books, borrow, take, swap but most of all READ and ENJOY! A fabulous local Community book swap resource, in a beautifully restored iconic vintage red phone box.

We're back open🎉 after the shelves were secured again to the back wall. Please please let's try and keep the Bookswap as a swap. Please do not leave books in bags or on the floor they quickly get wet, damp and damaged. If the shelves are full, please donate elsewhere. Thank you so much for helping keep this amazing resource neat and tidy.

... all set for the repair and restock.

A little update:
For some time now, the hinge to the door of the Bookswap has been playing up. This has been reported to the Parish Council. In the meantime, we've had a big tidy up and request that no further book donations be left please, until we can make it watertight.
New yarn bomb in situ thanks to Irene Rowley. It was the last thing she knitted right up to the day before she died in May🥹
New bunting arrives tomorrow🎉
