Book friends
Thank you, book friends
A book leaves one home and does not stop.
It goes to a child on the fourth floor, then to one who was waiting for it, then to a family who have not moved in yet. Every neighbour on this page put a book into the hands of children they will never meet.
You did not give a book away — you gave it to everyone.
Every book on our shelves was carried here from a neighbour’s flat. Joining the library is free and always will be, and giving a book is never a condition of it.
The neighbours who gave
In alphabetical order, and never by how many. A family who gave one book and a family who gave thirty gave the same thing: a book to a child who did not have it.

Have a book your child has outgrown?
A book on your shelf is one child’s afternoon. The same book here is a hundred. Story books, picture books, comics, atlases, anything a child between four and fourteen would open — as long as it is whole enough for the next reader.
Our address is jardin.owners@gmail.com. A neighbour reads these, not a robot — so please give us a little time to answer. Nothing is settled by sending a message; ask us anything first.
You bring the book
Hand it in at the library, or send us a message and we will come and collect it.
We write the thank-you
It goes inside the front cover, and the book goes on the shelf.
You choose the credit
We print your name here unless you tell us not to. Say the word at the desk and we will thank you without it.
