Novel idea for Little Book Stop in Hull

PENGUIN BOOKS ANNOUNCE LOCATIONS OF NEIGHBOURHOOD BOOK EXCHANGE BOXES IN REGION

- By LAURA CROSS

PENGUIN Books has announced the locations of their Little Book Stops across Yorkshire - and Hull features on the list.

It comes after more than 2,000 submissions from members of the public calling for a community book sharing box in their local area.

The 90 Little Book Stops campaign is part of the brand’s ongoing 90th birthday celebrations. The campaign is in partnership with Little Free Library, the US-based nonprofit that has overseen the installation of more than 200,000 neighbourhood book exchange boxes globally since 2009.

The Hull location will be at The Reading Doctor, Beverley Road, Hull, HU6 7JH, with a local steward being appointed to maintain the site. The Little Book Stop will run on a ‘give a book, take a book’ concept and promote community-led book sharing.
