How to create a community space in your church with books
Reading is really beneficial, but a wide range of social and monetary factors prevent many from enjoying the benefits. However, there is something that your church can do to help. Mildmay St Jude & St Paul’s Church, in North London, created a Book Bank to run alongside its food bank. Now, people can access a wide range of books for free, which has led to more people in the area able to enjoy reading and talking about books, which has also created a strong sense of community within the church building. Find out how the book bank was established and how the church has embraced it. Plus, get advice for how you can set up your own book bank.
