Borderline Books remains an ever-growing project and one which we invite people to replicate all around the country. In addition we run a multilingual library in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne. This grew out of a chance remark by a volunteer, that Borderline Books had more books in more languages than the universities in Newcastle have. From that moment we stopped giving those books away and began to work on building a library. The library currently contains in excess of 15,000 books in 102 languages.
As far as we are aware, our library is unique in the UK.
