On 19 February, we will be holding MAIRtrade, a fairtrade and eco fair.
One of the stalls at the event will be a book swap, which will help to promote the concept of ‘reuse’.
Have a clear out of your book shelf and for every book your child brings in before 19 February, he/she will receive a token. At MAIRtrade, tokens can be swapped for other childrens’ books.
This is a great way to support reading and to keep our bookshelves fresh.
