A store that gives away free books has reopened at a new location.
GET Free Books Ipswich is now operating from 71 Upper Orwell Street, with the doors opening for visitors and volunteers to enjoy a larger space and lots of great new stock.
Lucy Mortlock, lead volunteer at the project, said: "We are so thankful for our time at Microshops, all the shop owners have been so supportive.
"But we are excited for the opportunity to move on to our own space in Upper Orwell Street.

"The building gives us more space to offer a wider selection of free books and we look forward to welcoming everyone there, once we are open in the first week of October."
The group described the opening day as "a beautiful day to have the door wide open" and said they had been warmly welcomed by neighbouring businesses and residents.
One visitor even brought a freshly baked cake to the team as a welcome gesture.
The shop is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11am to 3pm, and Tuesday and Thursday from 10.30am to 3pm.
