About the Lions
Who are the Lions?
Lions International is the largest service organisation globally. We operate through local clubs and our aim is to give back to the community via raising money for local charities and individuals or doing service projects.
If you want to have fun, give something back to your community and make new friends then we would be interested in talking to you about considering becoming a member. Contact us for an informal discussion.
Volunteers from six Lions Clubs donate their time in the bookshop: Hemel Hempstead, Tring, Luton, Watford, Harpenden and St Albans Lions Clubs..

Frequently Asked Questions
Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question
Unfortunately we don't have the resources to collect books from people's homes. However, if you bring your books in your car we can help you bring them down from the car park to the bookshop. If you bring them into the bookshop we can help you take them out of bags and boxes. We will help as much as our volunteers are able!
Please call us on 07958 258258 to discuss. Please note that we take up references, but usually allow people to 'try it out' by assisting our volunteers on a few shifts. You have to be mobile (books are heavy!) and willing to do regular shifts on a monthly basis. Many of our new volunteers become Lions - so if you want to give back to your community then give it a try!
Books have to be saleable, of good quality and ideally under 15 years old. We accept fiction, non-fiction, children's books, DVDs, CDs, records and jigsaws.
We give out free hearing aid batteries on behalf of Hemel Hospital and we collect old hearing aid batteries for recycling. We collect old spectacles and these are recycled and sent to eye clinics in Africa.
We support environmentally friendly projects! All unsaleable books are eventually sent for recycling and are made back into paper!
Please contact us in advance via email info@stalbanslionsclub.com if you wish to deliver a large quantity of books. You can only deliver books into the donation point on the ground floor. If you just turn up without notifiying us, we will not have the people to process your donation and your donation will be refused.
