Morvern Bookworms: List of Books available for lending.
UPDATED with children books
Members of the Morvern Book Club have made around 100 titles available for lending to anyone in the community. If you would like any of these books, please phone Jennie Robertson on 01967 421234. If there is no reply, please leave a message with your name and phone number and I will get back to you. The Support Group volunteers will deliver books on a Monday.
Please note that, in order to avoid the bug, once you receive your books/CDs, it is recommended that they are left untouched for a while. UK Govt. advice is:
- The risk from books covered in a plastic cover handled by someone who is a possible COVID-19 case is negligible after 72 hours.
- The risk from books with a cardboard/paper cover is negligible after 24 hours.
