Kathy Woolley reports on how Book Aid InternationalSupplies much-needed books to developing countries, raising funds from publishers and general public; 'Reverse Book Club' is masterly idea-for just £5 ($10) month you can provide 48 books to go to where they're most needed and partners have worked to keep young people supplied with books during the Covid-19 crisis
In an undeniably challenging year, at home and across the globe, we at Book Aid International have taken solace in books. Gripped by new releases and luxuriating in the rediscovery of familiar favourites, we have found in books joy and comfort through our most difficult days. However, many people around the world have not been as fortunate, and when libraries and schools closed it meant that hundreds of thousands of people were left unable to get lost in a good book or to continue their studies.
