📚 Something special has arrived on Silverdale Road in Arnside.
Welcome to the Penguin Little Book Stop – a free mini library filled with books for all ages, gifted by @penguinukbooks to celebrate their 90th anniversary.
Local resident, Janice Owen, entered a competition to be part of this national project alongside over 2,000 communities to be one of just 90 locations chosen across the UK as a tribute dedicated to her dear mother, Jean Wilson – an avid reader who inspired a love of books in her children, grandchildren, forever friends and generations to follow.
Here’s how it works:
�📕 Simply borrow a book and return, leave a book.�
📍 You’ll find it on Silverdale Road, on the edge of Coles Drive facing the public pavement on Silverdale Road.
🧡 A space for residents to remember their loved ones when borrowing a book, or gifting one.
With much love and books to share.’
“Si hortum in bibliotheca habes, nihil deerit”
Such a fabulous thing for the village and a wonderful tribute to her mum. Thank you, Janice!
