 Book Lover ? 

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 of Lions, in Hemel Hempstead  (see directions below).  The shop is run by 6 Lions Clubs in the district so it's a collective volunteering effort.

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)

Feature Information: 

Each month we have a featured area, this month is Celebrating

Arts & Crafts & Biographies.

Come along and see the new book theme and see it you can find something new.
