The popular annual book sale is at Hathersage Memorial Hall on Saturday, May 24 and remember it’s not just novels but a wide range of interests including gardening, history, children’s books, cookery and just about every hobby under the sun.
Prices have not gone up since the sale started 13 years ago at 50p per paperback, £1 per hardback and £1 entry. Proceeds to support educational and entrepreneurial projects in Ethiopia.
For many years now local volunteer Marion Codd has been raising funds to help students in the area improve their lives and prospects. Each year she travels out at her own expense to teach English, and she knows that the money she raises makes all the difference in a rapidly changing country where the poorest people risk being left behind.
