GET Free Books Rotherham

Today marks a year since we closed our doors for the last time.
We miss being open more than we can say and we would do anything to be able to reopen as soon as possible, please believe us. Honestly, I think we all expected to be open again by now, but unfortunately it hasn't been as easy as we expected.
A big thank you to Sheila, who- on top of being the best lead volunteer we could ask for- has spent the past year fighting to find us new premises, despite everything (and everyone!) seemingly being against us.
And a huge thank you to the customers who continue asking about us.

How good does this sound?

Anyone else really loving all the adaptations of books lately, both on TV and the big screen? Bridgerton (4 seasons (almost) and counting), Heated Rivalry, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Faraway Tree, Hamnet, The Odyssey....the list goes on. What is everyone else loving or looking forward to?

Dearest gentle reader,

It seems we have a rather special announcement.

The ton are abuzz with the latest gossip, and it is my honour to impart to you: Potteries Tea Rooms will soon announce their Bridgerton themed afternoon tea.

Gentle reader, be patient. All will be revealed in the next coming weeks

Yours truly, Lady Whistledown

Quick, someone tell Stormzy about Global Educational Trust Bookshops - GET Free Books and GET Free Books Rotherham 😂

Stormzy is championing the annual Quick Reads initiative, which will release six short, digestible titles for ‘nonreaders and lapsed readers’ in April for £1 each

A very Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all our supporters, customers and all our fellow GET shops. Enjoy your Christmas festivities, whatever they may be and, as we step into a new year let us hope that 2026 brings us a new shop 🤞🏻

Today I'd love to give a shout out to Men in Sheds at the Kimberworth Park Chislett Centre (there is a group but I can't tag it), who we've just bought this bird table from as a Christmas gift. This is the fourth we've bought and they've all been fantastic. Right now they're trying to sell off more of their items to raise money for wood and for the centre itself. I recommend visiting them if you're in the market for planters, benches etc

(I hope no one minds me making these shout outs, I figure a charity should always support other charities)

Great coffee this morning at Frith Space with a group of the volunteers ✨ (thought this card was very important info, just in case)

Storm Claudia: Rotherham Central railway station to close early due to flood risk Rotherham Central will be closed from 4pm today (Friday, November 14) for all services, including trams, Network Rail has announced.

Can I just say how great our Rotherham Mayor seems to be. Would love to get a new shop before her term is up so she can visit us 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
