Emma-Jayne Newby

Having been with WeBuyBooks since 2010, I manage our Antiquarian Books team alongside overseeing our bulk processing operations. My role blends large-scale workflow management with hands-on appraisal across the full range of print - from rare pre-ISBN volumes through to more modern titles. My depth of knowledge is built on over 15 years of experience, and I regularly share my expertise about books across our workforce through training and continuous learning sessions.

I’m passionate about books and reading, and I’m keen on making sure everyone has access to them. I play an integral role in our 'Little Readers' and World Book Day donation schemes, placing books directly into schools and nurseries both locally and nationwide. I’m also a founding member of the Rossendale Little Free Libraries Network, helping to ensure continuous, free access to books across our local community.
