Visitors were shocked to find their MP making a surprise appearance at the Heath Library’s annual book sale, according to Heathman’s sources.
The Friends of Heath Library raised a record �1,382 from generous book donations at the annual sale.
Hundreds pitched up at Keats Grove to snap up �1 book deals, including Hampstead & Kilburn Glenda Jackson’s biography.
Ruth Gorb, of the friends group, said: “This year we did better than we have ever done before. We are absolutely thrilled.”
The library is threatened with closure after Camden Council withdrew its funding.
