Booktrust

The wonderful Booktrust has just donated this box of gorgeous new books to us. Booktrust has been promoting books, reading and writing for more than 90 years. They are the gold standard in this business.  Thank you, Booktrust, your gift will be hugely appreciated. Now please go back to Give a Book.

Thank you

Thanks to our generous supporters we were able to give books this month to some new recipients:  one, a mother and baby refuge where the books ranged from first reading books for children under two to a set of Roald Dahl classics and text books for older children told us that  "The children are over the moon."
There was also much excitement in the Springboard Room  at Harris Academy in Peckham-- the first secondary school that Springboard has worked in-- when their new books arrived from Give a Book. The children are really enjoying them, especially First Greek Myths and the Quentin Blake Collection. So a big thank you to all those who share our belief that to give a book is a transaction of value and enable us to do just that.
Now go back to Give a Book.

Giving books

Here's an excellent project from the Cambridge US public library for giving books to disadvantaged kids in their holidays. Much to learn from it. http://cambridgelibraryfriends.blogspot.com/2011/11/all-wrapped-up-in-holidays.html
