Books for factory workers

Maureen Twose of Cornwall Libraries (who has been a staunch supporter of the project from the start) emails with good news. Callington is a small town in north Cornwall,near a food processing factory Ginsters, which employs a large number of workers from overseas.
She writes:

"Callington Library is negotiating a small satellite library in Ginsters that will be accessible to all, including the night shift. It will include a small number of foreign language books.

Also, we plan a European reading promotion later in the year (European authors translated into English). It all helps to bring down barriers and hopefully unite us."

Books for the night shift sounds a great idea.
