An unusually strenuous book swap set up this month with two extra tables to stack and a few less hands than usual.

It was Annika's first task after signing up for GoodGym seven years ago* but she was quickly sorting like a task veteran. Hopefully it wont be another seven years before she joins us again 😁

Another successful book swap task and probably less attention than usual to making the tables aesthetically pleasing. Hopefully the mini self help section we added will change lives although the book on crocheting a snood could arguably have a bigger impact.

So many books to put out a new table had to be fetched. Some good quality on offer this month, including the teachings of Tiny Cat.

A hot evening saw two Goodgymers setting out the books for the Tang Hall Library monthly booksale, with a particular request to prioritise children's books for the holidays. The Vikings seemed to be a particularly strong theme, which is apt for the city of York!

A streamlined team met on Thursday evening to set up the book sale as usual. Believe it or not, we were done in just 45 minutes, leaving a new array of books ready for sale to raise valuable funds for the library.

The library was a little busier than usual this evening due to it being used as a polling station - so we wheeled the books back and forth past all the democracy that was happening in the main hall.

As always, we enjoy checking out the selection of books available and discussing our current reads, with a few spoilers chucked in (Mitch). Martin did a good job putting together the audio books, while Stella got into the finer details of non-fiction classification. Others picked up a few books for their home libraries - Radu is going to try Mindful Birdwatching, while Rich got stuck into an even more niche title...
