10 Mar Our library is open!
We were really excited to open the doors to the school library for Book Week, as planned. The children have absolutely loved exploring the new room, relaxing on the beanbags and cushions, kicking back in the hut and under the tree, sharing books and simply enjoying their new space.
We are so grateful for all the support we have had from Friends of Lyndhurst and the wider community, with donations of books and funding coming from many well-wishers. We have had an astonishing number of books donated (we believe around 1200 of over 2000 books now in the library were donations!). And our fundraising appeal has so far raised £1000, all of which will be spent on new books. You can continue to support us through Support Your School.
We are now excitedly planning the next phase of the project, which is a collaboration with the Acorn Book Club to make the library an even more magical place for our children to enjoy reading for pleasure. Watch this space!
