Taking up an proposal by member, David Powell, Blackwater Valley Friends of the Earth bought 46 copies of Greta Thunberg’s book for local schools and libraries. These were distributed by members of the BVFoE and the Bracknell Climate Action Group in 2023.

The books were purchased using money from a generous donation by the Army Golf Club Ladies.

We received many thank you letters:

‘ A huge thank you for the wonderful book “The Climate Book”. We will put this to good use as we have several environmental groups in school’

typical school response

‘Can I give you all a very big thank you for your donation to Bagshot Library of the above book, by Greta Thunberg. As I’m sure you are aware, it is a fantastic read and very inspirational’.

We wanted to thanks you for sending a copy of Greta Thunberg’s Climate Book for our library. It has received much interest and recently featured in Assembly and on a Non-Fiction November display on Climate. I attach a photo of the display.
