Published: 2 March 2022

The Lord Mayor of Exeter Cllr Trish Oliver will be visiting a free community library facility to mark World Book Day.

Hill Barton Little Free Library in Pinhoe will take part in World Book Day on Thursday, 3 March, at 4pm.

There are five Little Free Libraries in Pinhoe, with a sixth one expected soon. There are also several others around the city, some of which were started with a Ward grant from the City Council.

Cllr Oliver said: “The Hill Barton Little Free Library is something of an exemplar, with a great variety of books and themes, and I am delighted to be attending this amazing community facility on World Book Day.

“I’m really looking forward to meeting residents and their children, who use the library - World Book Day have donated book tokens for me to give out to the first 30 children.”
