First we achieved our 100,000th transaction at the end of January! That's around 130,000 books which have been reused, recycled and saved from dusty bookshelves! So on behalf of the environment and the Woodland Trust, we’d like to thank all our members for helping us achieve this great target.
Secondly, as a result of all this recycling, we’ve just completed upgrading and replacing our aging web servers. Our new servers are significantly faster and have a much greater capacity, making it quicker and easier to find the books you want, it also enables us to continue with our enhancement and expansion plans!
Finally, for those of you, like us, who didn’t receive a Valentines card, we’ve pulled together some of our favourite titles on love, life and romance!
