Ed WardTRUSTlibrary.org are looking to open up 50 shops across the uk with a registered charity to give away FREE books and I was hoping someone you know might be interested in this?
Just created http://www.WEBiversity.org which may be of use to your students (would love to collaborate on this with others too:)
I am trying to get in contact with the best person to see if Student Unions across the country could be interested in running some of the 50 high street shops that we could end up managing! It would be great to work with you to get the students to volunteer to run the shops so we can give free books away (in exchange for donations:). This could easily lead on to a permanent thing were we could then expand to provide drinks or other services in the locations too!
We are looking for.. Volunteers to run individual shops across the country Unwanted books (other items) to give away Logisitcs to deliver the goods to the shops More empty locations to create free trust libraries. Funding of course to purchase many books off charity shops.
Below is the generic email with more details (please forward this on)...
