At Lapal Primary School, we want every child to explore, imagine, discover, belong, read and thrive. As part of our continued commitment to developing a love of reading, we are looking to replenish our school library with wonderful books for our children to enjoy.

We are inviting families and members of our school community to donate any pre-loved children’s books that are in good condition.

Perhaps your bookshelves are overflowing, or there are stories that your children have loved but have now outgrown. Rather than leaving them unread, why not give them a new home at Lapal, where they can be discovered and enjoyed by another child?

❤️ Leave a Lasting Reading Legacy

Each donated book will receive a special “Donated by…” sticker inside.

If you would like your child’s name to be included, simply place a Post-it note inside the front cover with their first name and initial, for example, Emily R.

It is a lovely opportunity for children to leave a small but lasting legacy within our school library and help inspire another child’s love of reading.

📅 When do books need to be donated?

Please bring any pre-loved books into school by Friday 16th October.

It is also a perfect opportunity for a clear-out before Christmas, while helping us build an exciting, varied and inviting collection of books for our pupils.

Every book donated has the potential to become another child’s favourite story. 📖❤️

Thank you, as always, for your continued generosity and support. Together, we can continue to make reading a special and valued part of life at Lapal Primary School.

Happy donating and happy reading! 📚✨
