Here are some of the beautiful pre-loved books you

Here are some of the beautiful pre-loved books you’ve been dropping off at the Greenwich Centre Library (@greenwichlibs). Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far! We’re busy checking and cleaning the books ready to pass on to local families.

At Little Greenwich Books, our mission is to inspire a love of reading and to help level up literacy by giving as many local children as possible books of their own to enjoy at home.

Finished reading a special book with your little one? Pass it on to us and we’ll make sure another child can enjoy it too.

We’re happy to accept new or pre-loved books in great condition for babies and children under 5 years old. Please don’t donate books which are damaged, dirty, badly ripped or have missing pages.

Help us share the joy of books with local children and donate at the Greenwich Centre Library today!

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of World Book Da

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of World Book Day, we’ve been working hard to create 25 Peter Rabbit themed baby/toddler book gift bags for Greenwich food bank.

We partnered with Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery in Welling to collect over 100 gift-quality pre-loved books from parents.

We used these in combination with 50 new books to create the gift bags. Each bag contains a Peter Rabbit story (a new book), another new book and two pre-loved books. A total of 100 books.

We were also able to donate a further 85 books (from the nursery project and individual donations) for families to choose from.

We hope they raise some smiles and inspire some future book lovers!

Happy World Book Day and Happy Reading! 🥰

And don't forget that we have a drop box in the Greenwich Centre Library if you have any books that you'd like to pass on. Please spread the word and help us give as many children as possible the chance to enjoy and learn from books.
