Our book swap

 Add comments
 

Following completion of the refurbishment of the court house, the book swap is now open again.

Did you know that, in the Old Eltham Courthouse, there are three bookshelves laden with fiction and a few non-fiction books? U3A members can borrow, take or swap a book from this collection. You can take books, or return books, whenever you are attending any classes at the Courthouse. There are no records to fill in – just take a book and read.

If you have books in good condition that you have read and enjoyed and no longer want, please leave them on the bottom shelves or drop them into the Office (at Eltham Central Pavilion) and we will add them to the collection.

Non fiction books include languages and travel guides.
