BOOKS ABROAD

A Missionary from Nigeria visited Banff Academy in 1974 and mentioned the great lack of books in his school in Africa.?As a result,?Keith Brunskill, a teacher at the Academy, founded LINK in 1982 to provide books to Africa. The Charity is now called BOOKS ABROAD and it has sent nearly 500 tonnes of books overseas to 1,500 schools and educational establishments in 80 countries. Our 2.5 millionth book was sent to Zanzibar in July 2011. Most of the work is carried out by volunteers, although we do have three paid employees.

Visitors will have access to one warehouse to view our operation and talk to voluteers. There is also a bookshop on site.
