Bye Bye BookBenches: ''last chance'' dates for your diary!

Wednesday the 24th September, 2014

Sadly, Books about Town will soon be drawing to a close.

Our BookBenches will start to disappear from the trails as we prepare them for auction. We will begin removing Benches from the trails on 14 September, and by 16 September they will all be gone.

Make sure you don’t miss any BookBenches before they go by taking a look at the specific removal dates for each BookBench. The benches will be removed on the morning of the date specified, so the last chance to see them will be the day before:
