Cllr Kate Bessant, who has organised the schemes with the BoA Skatepark group said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming people to the town for the book sale.
“We’ve had huge support from the community with amazing donations of great quality books – lots of new fiction and good quality classics, as well as fabulous non-fiction, finds.

“Most of the books will be either £1 or 50p. Lots of bargains. It’s a great chance to promote reading and raise money for a project that will benefit our youth for many years to come.”

The totes bags – produced by The Cotton Bag Company – will be available from Christine’s Sustainable Supermarket for £8 each.
The first 50 bags have been donated by the company which means £400 goes straight into the fund.
Bags and t-shirts will also be available for purchase at the book sale.
