An extraordinary week for the appeal; thanks to an enormous donation of 2,700 story books from Allen and Mark at The Book Barn International www.bookbarninternational.co.uk the total now stands at 4,544. It’s amazing! I felt very emotional packing the books, knowing that we were so close to our target. As a huge thank you, The Book Bus held a fun-filled storytelling event and invited local children to paint a mural on the café wall. A big thank you to The Period House Shop, Warwick for matching the paint supply, we wouldn’t have had enough. If you’re in the local area to Hallatrow, Somerset – a trip to the Book Barn is well worth the visit; millions of books, a coffee in the café and friendly staff.
We have 456 books to go. Locally in Warwickshire the children of St Nicholas C of E Primary School in Kenilworth and St Paul’s C of E Primary School in Leamington have joined the appeal. At 10.30 and 11.15 on Saturday 25th June we will be holding storytelling sessions at Kenilworth Books, Talisman Square, Kenilworth.
456 books to go! 456! We can absolutely meet this target and more so than before every single book given will bring us closer.
