I would like to know if you still take in donations such as books, DVDs, cd’s etc.
I was a member for many years, and at Covid lock down time handed in all my books and have not gone back. We have now moved closer to Boskruin. I still have my membership card. Can I come back? And can my husband also join at this stage? Thank you
