Freelender library now open in Hastings; your books can be in it whilst still at home!

In the wake of the Hastings Pier Fire, I'm moving to Hastings and opening a freelender library to share community resources. The themes of this library on www.freelender.org will be: 
The abbreviated name of this community resource is to be the MMTT library. 

PLEASE SUGGEST OTHER CATEGORIES OF BOOK USEFUL TO HASTINGS NOW.
One book I have is called "Dealing with Disaffected Youth"; let's have a category called "Engaging Youth & ending inter-generational apartheid"; the library now becomes the MMETT Library!

If you have any books & DVDs etc which you are pleased to offer to trustworthy people who will come round at a convenient time and borrow, then return the items as requested, or possibly forfeit a deposit, then please add these items to www.freelender.org

Some of the items will also be made available on www.letsallshare.com, which has a higher level of web design than freelender (though without the trust stats). Lets All Share also has the 'Please Collect' function on the site, so that if you add items to lend and then decide you are happy to give them away, you can easily switch them into that category.

In due course I intend to negotiate with ecomodo.com and ecobees.com about arrangements that would engage much more of the Hastings/St Leonards community in lending and renting. This would at the same time raise funds for people's favourite charities, no doubt including the Hastings Pier & White Rock Trust.
