"Reading brings us unknown friends."

"We read books to find out who we are."

"Once you have read a book you care about, some part of it is always with you."

"Books should go where they will be most appreciated, and not sit unread, gathering dust on a forgotten shelf, don't you agree?"

Portsmouth GoodGymers agree. Over 250 books were donated to numerous charities around the City, to bring joy & inspiration to new readers.

Matilda says it best: "Books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who live exciting lives."

A bit like GoodGym really.
