A scheme in which people donate winter coats to libraries has become a "heart-warming success".
A total of 15 libraries in Somerset, including Taunton, Bridgwater and Yeovil, accepted donations over the winter period.
This year 2,470 coats for both adults and children were donated – more than double the figure received in 2024.
Councillor Federica Smith-Roberts, lead member for communities at Somerset Council, said: "The success of the Winter Coat Exchange is a testament to the power of community."
