November 2020: Please note that although we are grateful to receive book donations we do not expect our volunteer collectors to receive books during the COVID -19 lockdown. In due course Book Aid will be pleased to receive your books, but it may be some time before you can pass them on to us. In the meantime, if you are sorting through your library during long days restricted to your home, here's a update of the books we can/cannot use for our programme. We have made some changes to this list recently.
