Last year Ms Siemionow came up with the brilliant plan to take some of our keenest readers to the Lifeline Bookfair to spend some of the Library Trust Fund on student selected texts for the UCHSK Library. The four students managed to pick up 61 books for our library for $200!
This proved to be a highly successful trip and has consequently expanded to include 12 kids, 3 teachers and Cathy our lovely Library Lady and hopefully the UCHSK blogger.
Our UCHSK group will be going next Friday to the first of the three day Bookfair, and by rewarding our biggest book fans, we will also be topping up our library with student favorited books at a bargain price AND donating much needed funds to Lifeline Canberra's Crisis Support service - it's a win - win - win all round!
As an added bonus, students and staff of course will have an opportunity to bring and spend their own money to increase their own personal libraries which is why I must go I will endeavor to capture for a future blog.... The Lifeline Bookfair is open to the public from 9am to 6pm Friday 18th September, 9am to 5pm Saturday 19th September, and 10am to 4pm Sunday 20th September....I am certain to See you there!
