Verulamium Museum gives book worms the chance to snap up some literary bargains whilst supporting local charities at the Community Book Fair.

With proceeds going to projects such as Parkinsons UK and the Locomotive Society, the museum is also organising the fair to support World Book Night.

Mike Wakely, councillor for Sports, Leisure and Heritage for St Albans, calls it “a great opportunity for book lovers to indulge their passion for books and for local groups to do some fundraising”.

  • Verulamium Museum, St Michael’s Street, St Albans on Tuesday, April 23 from 6-10pm. Details: 01727-751810, www.stalbansmuseums.org.uk
