Book Crossing with Exeter Central LibraryBookCrossing is earth-friendly, worldwide phenomenon which provides a way to share books, clear shelves, and conserve precious resources at the same time. The principle is simple: leave a book on a park bench, a coffee shop, at a hotel on vacation. Share it with a friend or tuck it onto a bookshelf at the gym -- anywhere it might find a new reader! For Freefall, Exeter Central Library will place a number of books in Exeter Phoenix’s Café Bar, for readers to pick-up, read and pass-on. But, through a unique book-tagging system, one reader who registers their find online has a chance to win an ipod! More details of how to join will be available at Exeter Phoenix on the day.
