John brings us a short report and interviews from the Business Network.

June joined Gary on Mornings & More to tell us about the new shop opening on Newgate Street, Bishop Auckland on 1st June at 10am.

The shop is operated by Global Educational Trust - an organisation commited to improving literacy around the world by providing free books. The shop is run by volunteers and June is seeking further help to develop the shop and turn it into a user friendly "social hub" .
