Thousands of books were donated by the people of Walkley, friends and employees of the Peak District National Park Authority. Two long sets of tables ran the full length of the hall weighed down with fiction and non-fiction priced at 50p, £1 and £2. The stage became the bargain counter of 20p books.

The cafe was stacked full of cakes, biscuits, scones and jam all kindly made for the event.
Happy shoppers enjoy tea and cakes
Hundreds of people went away with bags and boxes of books. It was great to see so many happy people rifling through the tables of books and finding plenty to take away and read.
Thank you to everyone who helped, donated, baked, made jam, bought or had a cuppa and a cake! You have all contributed to the child literacy projects in Guatemala.
Special thanks to:
The Cafe Crew - Andy, Melissa and Saskia - who made the cake display look so good and worked hard to keep up with brewing drinks and serving cakes.
The Book Sellers - Sarah A, Sarah C, Jill, Paul, Sue, Jessica and Stella - who filled bags and boxes, took money and enthused so much about books with buyers.
The Community Centre Trustee - Sam Charlesworth - whose enthusiasm and hard work made the event happen.
Beanies Wholefoods, Levitts Convenience Store and Zooby's Cafe who donated tea, coffee, milk, soya milk and soft drinks for the cafe.
Without you all the bookathon would not have been such a success.
