FOSMA and FOCAL Giant Book Sale

FOSMA and FOCAL held a wonderful giant book sale in St Mary’s Adderbury on 27th April and together they raised £1,450. This money will be split evenly between helping the library and the church. It was a lovely occasion, with dozens of people meandering gently through the aisles, totally absorbed with trying to find the book of their choice. Searching was made much easier by the occasional stop for some delicious cakes washed down with tea and coffee. The sale was helped by the enormous amount of work put in earlier with the collection, carriage to the church and sorting of the 6,000 books (give or take) which so many people had so generously given. Finally success was due to all those who helped on the day, some continuously from 11am to 4pm and to all those who came and bought. It also allowed those watching the Day of Dance to come in to the warm church and allow their limbs to defrost, before going back out again.  Many thanks to everyone who supported the event in any way.
