A Big Donation

The library has been created by Gateacre School in partnership with Belle Vale Shopping Centre and is based in the shopping centre.

Their motto is: “take a book, return a book, donate a book”, in a gathering place where the community can share their favourite books and stories.

Lisa Mitchell, Gateacre School Community Co-ordinator, said: “The Big Little Library is a superb resource for the whole community and we’d like to say a huge thank you to Bulky Bob’s for providing us with all the furniture we need so our customers can take part in workshops, relax, enjoy our books, and hopefully enjoy each other’s company as well!”

Events at the BIG Little Library include Storycubes, creating stories from picture dice; Knit Year, knit a storytelling scarf, and CSI Alice to help celebrate 150 years of Alice in Wonderland by solving the crime of who stole the Mad Hatters Hat!
