Attention book lovers – we need your help!

Have your kids aged out of their much-loved reads, or do you have a pile of novels that you no longer need taking up space around the house?

McDonald’s Parkes is seeking any unwanted books to establish a community library that everyone can utilise and we would love the support of our locals to donate their pre-loved books to help get this community library up and running.

"I myself am a big lover of books and would love to be able to offer a range to our customers to read while they are dining in at our restaurant," McDonald’s Parkes Licensee Jenny Mcleod said.

"Reading has so many benefits, from reducing stress and enhancing mental health, as well as helping you learn.”

Literacy is important in all aspects of life and Jenny would love to provide another opportunity in our shire for the community to access reading.

"As we have a lot of travellers passing through Parkes, and even more so now with school holidays underway, it would be great to offer a community library to those who like to swap books," she said.

“But to establish this community library – we need some help from you.”

If you have any books that you no longer require, or would like to donate, please drop them to McDonald’s Parkes.
