AN Exeter book shop is appealing for children's books to send to Africa. Book-Cycle, based at 7, West Street, is a charity which collects unwanted and surplus books. It has organised a free load to Mombasa, Kenya, and is anxious to make the most of it. Books, educational and recreational, for children aged five to 15, are needed in the next three weeks.

The books can be taken to the shop and more details are available on 01392 420021 or enquiries@book-cycle.org.
