Usborne School Book Fair 2022

To promote reading for pleasure and to encourage our pupils to read more broadly, we are delighted to welcome pupils and parents to our Usborne School Book Fair, taking place on Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th October 2022 in partnership with Faraway Books.

This is an opportunity to further support your child in their reading journey and, with 60% of the total book fair sales value being donated in books to school, an opportunity to help provide lots more books for your child to read, share and enjoy in our school library.

Over the two days, children from Kindergarten through to Year 8 will visit the book fair and be encouraged to record their favourite titles on a ‘wish list’. The book fair will also be open to parents between the hours of 8am-9am and 3pm-4pm.

How to order

Books can be ordered throughout the week until Friday 14th October, either at the book fair (card, cash or cheque), via your order form in school (please include exact cash or cheque made payable to Carlie Bradley in a sealed envelope clearly marked ‘Book Fair’) or, to place an order directly with Faraway Books, please email Carlie Bradley at hello.farawaybooks@gmail.com

The full Usborne catalogue is available to view via their website. Please note that any orders placed through the website will not count towards the school’s free book allowance, so once you’ve found the books you’d like, please contact Carlie directly to place your order.

Education is not just about opening minds but opening the door to exceptional extra curricular opportunities.
