the book people

bringing books to your door.  Never heard of this service but I did check out the website to see what they do.  They sell all kinds of books including school books.  You can read their about us page here.

charity shops

In our small town, we have three charity shops.  Vincents (St.Vincent de Paul) and two Good As New shops.  Each shop is dedicated to a cause and within walking minutes of each other,  Can't resist the going rate for books, 5 books for €1.  We usually pop in once or twice during the week to check and see what's new.  We're searching for a small lamp and a chair.  You never know! 
 

We did pop in to Vincents this past Friday and spent a grand sum of €3.  There was no chair or lamp, but Shari found a pair of polka dotted pants on the euro rack; we picked up 5 books; found a strainer,  a perpetual calendar and a lighthouse candle holder we saw in the window..

free little library

The free little library is located at the beginning of the shore walk which is straight ahead.  That's the kid's play ground you see in the background.  Heading out or heading back from your walk stop and take a look.   If you have a book to drop off, please do!  With the tourists coming in to town, the selection changes daily.  We usually drop off a book every now and then plus once in a while we do find one to take too :)
