A MASSIVE book sale is taking place at the weekend to raise money for needy children in the Teesside area.
Listeners to Magic 1170 have donated thousands of books to raise funds for the charity, Make A Child Smile.
The response has so far exceeded expectations with listeners dropping off books at the station and also at local Vauxhall retailers.
Alan Ross, a presenter at the radio station, said: "Our research shows this area has a lot of problems that other areas do not have.
"There are a lot of self-help groups and charities formed by parents who have first-hand knowledge of many of the difficulties young people face, we can help these groups to keep going and try to improve some of the sad situations we come across."
The book sale will take place in the car park at TFM and Magic 1170 on Sunday, from 10am to 4pm. It is near Victoria Bridge, Teesdale, next to Thornaby Railway Station. If raining, it will be held at the University of Durham, Stockton Campus
