You may have heard by now that the date of our book fair has changed to Saturday 4th April 2009. I hope many of you will be able to come along and help on the day with placarding, working on the till, and generally being a welcome extra pair of hands. Please comment on this blog or contact me if you can help.
We also need good-quality books to sell! If you feel like you need a good old clear-out, we'd be really grateful if you could donate your books to us. Any subject will do - academic, children's, fiction or general non-fiction will all be put to good use. We can collect them if necessary, or they can be brought straight to our sorting room at Lake Street Community centre. If you have a car and can help with collections and driving books around, please also get in touch via this blog.
We also need help with publicity - tell all your friends about the fair, and when you get your poster/s please stick them up where lots of people can see them!
If you want to be more involved in the running of the fair, you could join us in our sorting and pricing sessions at Lake Street (off Abingdon Road). We can give directions if anyone is interested in helping with this. No experience necessary!
Finally, one of the trickiest things about the fair is getting enough people to help shift books to and from the fair on the Friday and Saturday evenings. If you can help with this please get in touch as the more helpers we have, the quicker and easier it is.
Many thanks!
Rachel
Hi, the change of date needs to go into the calendar on the right hand side!
