An anonymous patron dropped by to let us know that some churches in the UK have been buying books for local libraries.
As part of this year’s drive to find £35m worth of savings in the council’s overall budget, about £100,000 has been lopped from the amount being spent on new books.
Members of Churches Together in Selsdon and Addington have decided to do their bit to address the problem by raising about £650, which has been spent on buying books from the Christian Book Trust.
The collection of books, with a Christian or general social affairs theme, will be presented to the library on Monday.
I suspect that like most donors they didn’t consider contributing to the cost of processing their gifts.
