Unfortunately, after considering our storeroom availability we will not be able to take on any big donations of books for the time being. We are asking customers to hold off on any sizeable donations for at least a month. Apologies for any inconvenience this causes
That’s quite a few books! 📚📚📚
Thank you to everyone who’s donated to us, taken books, or even helped volunteer over the years!
To put this in to perspective if that were Imperial feet, it would be roughly as tall as 10 and a half Mt Everests 🗻
Good Morning!
Due to the high volume of book donations over the past few months, our storeroom is still quite full. Therefore, we are kindly asking all customers to hold off on big book donations until at least the end of May.
Thank you for your understanding!
Attention all readers! The store will be unfortunately closed on Monday the 18th and Tuesday the 19th due to the forecasted heat wave. We recommend you stay cool, stay hydrated and stay reading!
🚨Attention all potential book-givers! 🚨
We need YOUR help. Freebooks Hatfield is in need of kids books of all ages. It doesn’t matter if it’s 3 books or 3 boxes we’ll gladly take them off your hands!
To donate, just drop it off at the shop during our opening hours
Scavenging for books 🔎
Some of our shelves are quite deep and do not have a backboard so sometimes books can get lost behind other books. Here’s what we found after having a little peek around!
What are the volunteers up to in our free time?
This week it’s Paul reading his book Calenture by Storm Constantine.
Described as a mix between Sci-Fi and Fantasy, it contains a fantastical setting with in depth characters that leaves you wiser with every page turn.
