The original Evie’s Book Swap was set up in memory of Evie, a 15-year-old from Calne who sadly passed away in January 2020. Evie loved reading and her mum Leanne set up her own book swap to share the love of reading with us all. We hope this legacy of a whole network will be lasting for many years to come.
Leanne has been sharing the journey on Instagram, talking about her reads, finding lovely local craft like bookmarks and creating chalk journeys for visitors. You can read more on the Wordfest blog.
