Share the Warmth this Autumn at Torquay Library 🧣🧥

​As the colder weather sets in, we’re collecting good-quality, clean winter coats, scarves, hats, and gloves to support our local community and keep warm clothes in use rather than in landfill.

​Passing on winter wear you’ve outgrown or no longer need is a brilliant way to protect the planet, whilst also ensuring everyone in Torquay stays cosy this year!
