Bookcycle @ Coachwerks

Last Tuesday, Chris, Mags and I liberated the books from the now closed Bookcycle stall at the open market.
We've now got tons of books piled up by the entrance and at some point soon will be sorting them all out, building new shelves and making a lovely new bookcycle stall at Coachwerks. The general idea at the moment is to fill up any spare space we've got going with books and have a nice reading area.

Notes from the Bookcycle website
All life should be granted an equal opportunity for expression. Freedom; being our highest ideal is governed by the
parameters of the environment and the liberty of others. What does this mean in terms of Book-Cycle’s objectives and activities?
  • The Advancement of Education - Individuals around the world should be afforded fairer access to information and literature. Book-Cycle is committed to providing books to people who have little access to literature, both in developing countries and back here in Britain.
  • The Reforestation of Britain - The flora and fauna of Britain should be afforded a greater opportunity to coexist with the human population. Thus Book-Cycle is committed to the planting of trees, the creation of permaculture and the extension of mutually beneficial habitats.
  • The Dissemination of Knowledge and Practices of Permaculture - People should be given greater access to the principles and practicalities of self-sustainability. Hence Book-Cycle will continue to promote a greener awareness and give free training in self–sustainability."
There's a lot of compatability here between what we're doing here at CW and what Bookcycle have been doing and thinking. It's going to be a slow build, patient little project. If you fancy getting involved as a volunteer contact me - graeme.walker[at]werkshop.org.uk
