The Big Society - Well not Quite A simple solution to help fill the void left by the demise of the mobile library in Northill or indeed Northill Parish. I have a collection of books (hard back & soft back) all in excellent condition which are available for people to borrow. I am sure that there are, like myself, many people who love to read, but do not want or indeed cannot get to either Biggleswade or Sandy library. My idea is simply that like minded readers catalogue their books and display them either on the Northill Village website, or via a list that can be e-mailed to interested parties. Those wishing to borrow a book(s) simply contact that person and arrange a convenient time to collect. For those who are infirm or are unable to visit, then no doubt suitable arrangements can be arranged either with the lender or friends of the borrower. Hopefully if say ten or twelve other peoples were to subscribe to the scheme, then I am sure that a comprehensive library could be available on ones doorstep. To set the ball rolling I have catalogued my books and details can be obtained by e-mailing Pauline at
