Bookbarn Set to Reopen
Book lovers in the Mendip area will soon be able to clear out the books they have accumulated during lockdown with the re-opening of Bookbarn.
From Monday March 29 Bookbarn started once again accepting donations of books for recycling to other reading enthusiasts at its headquarters at Hallatrow, just off the A37 Wells Road.
A Covid safe system of collecting books had been introduced only for people within the local area. Drop offs to the ‘Barn itself will also resume in a Covid safe way from the 29th though.
Two weeks later on April 12 the shop and Full Stop Café will re-open to welcome visitors who want to browse the hundreds of thousands of books and enjoy relaxing with refreshments.
Nick Bates, CEO of Bookbarn International said: “Throughout the pandemic we have continued to ship books all over the world from our website but we had to close the shop and café and could not accept donations.
“The easing of restrictions now allows us to take donations once again and in April we will be open to visitors once again.
Many people have escaped into a book during these difficult times and now it is time to find them new homes and make way for new stories and adventures in print.”
