Are witches lurking in the lounge?
Historical characters in the bedroom?
Bill Bryson in the basement?
We would love them all!

Donation of all books (adult and children’s fiction/non-fiction) can be left at the school’s reception any time from now between the hours of 8.30am-4.00pm.

And remember to mark your diaries for Saturday 7 November: 9.00am-1.00pm.

All funds raised go towards Lyttelton Primary School’s library. That means hundreds of new books to spark and feed the minds of kids in our community.

Can’t wait to see you there!
