What is the Lyndhurst Library Project?

As a school we want all our children to discover the huge benefits that come from reading for pleasure – benefits that reach far beyond the classroom, such as good mental health and well-being and a better understanding of the people and world around us.

We have launched the Lyndhurst Library Project to create an appealing, welcoming and calm space in our school, where our children can explore exciting, good quality books and enjoy reading for pleasure.

The library will also be used as a quiet, calm and private space where children who struggle with reading, or just haven’t found the right book yet, can enjoy a book of their own free choice without the pressure that can sometimes be felt in the classroom.

The rooms will also be used as private spaces for learning support, provided as 1:1 or in small groups.

What stage are we at?

We are currently clearing and preparing the room (in the Dyslexia Centre) and are looking for external sponsorship to add to the generous contribution already pledged by Friends of Lyndhurst. There are a number of ways in which you can support the project. Here are some ideas:

  1. Donate directly to the project via our dedicated page on Support Your School (all funds will be spent on books and furnishings for the library). You can also visit Support Your School and enter our school’s postcode to find it.
  2. The Book People’s Big Book Boost – we get £1 for every £10 you spend on books if you nominate us as a beneficiary
  3. Buy a book from our Wishlist. If you buy through the Book People or Amazon Smile, please select Lyndhurst as a beneficiary so you can double up your support!
  4. If you have finished with any of the books on our Wishlist and they are still in good condition, we would be delighted to have them! (Please note: while we are very grateful for all support, we are appealing for specific authors and titles for the library rather than making a general plea for books, so please do take a look at the Wishlist).
  5. Please drop books off into the office for Mrs Baldwin to collect.
