The local libraries’ winter coat exchange is now open. Library teams are accepting coat donations, and coats are also available for anyone who needs one.

If you have any clean, good-quality adult or children’s coats that you no longer need, they’d love to give them a new home. Please bring your donations to participating libraries and hand them to a staff member.

The annual exchange was launched to help people stretch tight budgets a little bit further. The scheme is simple:

You can take a coat without making a donation
You can donate a coat without taking one
All donations must be of good quality and in a clean condition
Coats of any shape or size, for adults or children, are accepted
Please hand donations directly to a member of staff at one of the participating libraries.
They cannot accept gloves, scarves, hats, or other winter accessories.

Please remember to check all pockets before donating.

Libraries taking part this year include: Glastonbury, Shepton Mallet, Street.
