Epsom Rotary Library

This local library is run by Maria Anstiss. This page will be updated as we work through the practicalities of managing the library.


 

With the environment in mind and in a way of accumulating some funds for our Club, Maria Anstiss and Diana Deavin have come up with an idea of creating a Book Club or Library which we hope will also be available for friends, family and the community at some point. 

We intend to call it "The Book Exchange Club" and propose to circulate a monthly list and set up a WhatsApp page so that we can share our readings and ideas.  Maria will  be happy to deliver books and collect donated books.  When restrictions ease and club meetings are possible, exchanges will be more straightforward.

 

People will be able to donate money when they take out books and the money will go to Rotary charities.  We hope that this will be of interest to you and details to contact either Maria or Diana are set out below.

 

We look forward to hearing from as many of you as possible and hope you will take the opportunity to participate at some point along the way.
