The Suffolk Book League is a charitable organisation which has survived successfully over 40 years due to the hard work of volunteers, particularly those who have been active on its various committees. The archives do not allow for the compiling of a comprehensive list of these people but those who have kindly provided their memories give an indication of the work involved.
The archives do however allow for the compilation of those chairs of the Suffolk Book League who have overseen the various committees in their work and as you can see from the following list there haven’t been that many. This list does not include the occasional deputy chair or acting chair.
