Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by James Tilburn
Cicero once said 'A room without books is like a body without a soul'. If he were alive today he would probably add 'A library without an adequately sorted booksale is a GoodGym task in waiting'.
Once again, six of York's finest GoodGymmers descended on Tang Hall Library to sort fact from fiction, including first timer Louisa.
We started with good intentions, separating fiction by genre and grouping non-fiction by subject but the books kept coming and coming. By the end it turned into a game of book Tetris trying to fit them all on the tables.
Eventually, with not an inch of table top visible and several books balanced precariously on the edge, our supply was exhausted.
The books will all be sold to raise funds for the library and bring joy to the lives of their new owners. Except for the Top Gear one. And the Richard Branson autobiography.
