Ms Rogers (LRC Manager)
This year’s Traveling Book Sale has proven once again to be a record-breaking year, raising a staggering £3,483.45. Sales of books and stationary are combined and converted into reward points. This year’s amazing total earned a staggering £2,030.07p in commission which will be used to purchase new books for the Junior and Senior School Learning Resource’s Centre (LRC).
It is hoped that the book fair develops the girls love of reading and introduces them to new authors and titles. The joy and excitement when the fair arrives is infectious and we hope that this transfers into a lifetime love of literature.
Over the last few years a number of famous faces have turned their hand to writing children's books and this was reflected in the most popular titles purchased during the sale. Tom Fletcher, Stephen Mangan, Ben Millar and Alesha Dixon were all popular choices, alongside more established authors such as Liz Pichon and Michael Morpurgo.
The LRC would like to thank all of the girls and their families who supported the book sale. Without your enthusiasm, visits and generosity it would not have been possible to host such a successful event.
