I wanted to visit the world’s biggest library, but it was overbooked

Tonight's community mission took both brains and brawl, which thankfully Saoirse, Paul and Adam could provide as I have very little of either. Andrea (the task owner from GROAD) came out to warn us about the scale of the task in advance of our start time, with a pep talk to not lose motivation when we saw how many books we were dealing with. And even though the task was every bit as big as she described, we made a solid dent in neatly re-stacking the books into another storage unit ready to be used. In the process we sorted out any loose papers to be recycled & some furniture to be dealt with by the donator, so it's saved the books from being dumped on the side of the road (as was their previous destiny). ♻️

The donator of all of these books had been telling Andrea about each book before we arrived, as apparently they'd read all of them. In the pile we found a few items of note...

• A box dating back to September 1993
• A lovely illustrated book of clocks
• A frankly huge collection of Soviet-era war books

...and found out that for both Saoirse and Paul this was their first Goodgym task in a couple of years. Welcome back, great to have you back on board! 🎉
