About our fantastic Secondhand Bookshop.......

Are you a book lover - volunteer with us or visit us to buy some books! We have a large secondhand bookshop based in The Marlowes Centre, who are a great supporter, in Hemel Hempstead  (see directions below).  The shop is run by 5 Lions Clubs in the district so it's a collective volunteering effort.


The shop is a big fundraiser for Lions and raises considerable amounts of money for local charities in the district. Please consider visiting us, volunteering with us or donating good-quality books and other items.


Also our bookshop is environmentally friendly - recycle your books and have an adventure on the way by buying more books!  (Books that are unsaleable are recycled and made into paper)


We act as a distribution point for Hearing Aid batteries for Hemel Hospital (please bring your brown book with you). We collect old reading glasses and hearing aids for recycling and these are distributed in Africa via eye and ear clinics.

Contact us about donating glasses and hearing aids

Types of Items sold

This bookshop is a haven for lovers of books!.  All items are very affordable (usually £1/item or less) and of a good quality. We have a wide variety of items including children's books, adult fiction and non-fiction including cookery, gardening, education, health & wellbeing .....................the list just goes on and on. We also sell vinyl records, DVDs, CDs, large print books, audio books & jigsaws.  See below for examples of our range
