THE OXFAM BOOKBARN

Welcome to the Bookbarn in Huddersfield, where thousands of books arrive from all over the country to be sorted, sifted and shifted.

We take anything and everything. Hardbacks, paperbacks, magazines. And whatever the story, we make sure they all have a happy ending.

Were dedicated to getting the best use out of every page and pen-stroke. And in the process, find all kinds of things we didnt expect.

First, we sort the books. The ones that we can sell on go one way, and the ones that we cant go another although even these have a happy ending. Youll see.

Our dedicated volunteers are thorough, keen-eyed and quick. They have to be we receive over 20,000 books a day.

Each volunteer takes a good long look at every book to see how best we can turn them into the cash. Cash urgently needed to help fight poverty and injustice all over the world.

And we dont just send them out to our shops, we think about the most efficient way to turn fiction into action. Which could be auction, eBay, Amazon, Oxfams own online shop, or into one of our 700 shops all over the UK.

And the ones we couldnt sell? We send them to be pulped. Although that might not sound like a happy ending, it is.

We turn them into bookstands, boxes and benches: to be loved all over again.

So please donate your books to Oxfam and help change lives all over the world. Because with just one box of tricks, we'll turn fiction into action.

Created by BAFTA award-winning animator Ian Gouldstone, Face the Music shows how poor people are being hit first and worst by the effects of climate change, even though they've contributed least to it.

We can all do our bit by cutting our carbon footprints, but to fight climate change on a global scale, world leaders must act - and they must act now.
