Good Gymers put on their Blue Suede (running) Shoes and headed down to The Burnholme Centre to help sort books for a sale the following day. This task took place in a library, so there was A Little Less Conversation than usual, but we were sustained by our Burning Love of literature. Lucy led the way, a Hard Headed Woman determined to get the job done. How we managed to cram that many books onto the table we'll never know - they just Can't Help Falling over sometimes. Task done, we headed home, with several newly purchased books tucked into bags and bike baskets - we shan't be Lonesome Tonight.

We've got the book sale set-up down to a fine art - Angela shuttled back and forth with boxes of books from the cupboard, while Becca arranged the children's section for maximum appeal. It was the first time Elle had attended as an organiser - rather than a customer - and she got stuck in, with just the right level of attention to detail (no micro-categories here!). The result? A bumper set of books out ready for the Easter holidays.

Only two of us setting up the book sale at Tang Hall Library tonight, but Leanne made up for this by coming along in her World Book Day outfit. Although we didn't spot her book, we did spy a collection of tales written by another York Goodgymer! All the funds raised from the book sale will help support this fantastic community hub.

Four fantastic Goodgymers got a good arm workout hauling out boxes to set up the monthly book sale at Tang Hall Library. There were lots of great books on all sorts of topics: James indulged his love of the celebrity memoir, while Holly checked out the very latest styles in (1970s) knitwear and Amy picked up an introduction to nothing (?!). All the proceeds will go to support this great community venue.

Another month, another book sale. The four of us made light work of the task tonight, finishing with a good twenty minutes to spare.

As the sale stock was lower than usual we had to get creative with our display, giving the collectors edition of the Da Vinci code a better chance to seduce passing library members and find itself a home.

A great turnout for the book sale task this month with some who had not been before and a few grizzled veterans of this task.

The library had mercifully cleared out the old stock so some books that had been hanging around for some time had gone to the big library in the sky. Or the one down below. The important thing is we had exciting new books to put out which should mean lots of extra income for the library and lots of happy readers.

Many hands made light work so we finished with time to spare and left everything neat and tidy. And we get to come back in a few weeks and do it all again for half term 😁
