Dear Parents and Carers,

The 2023 Book Week theme is ‘Read, Grow, Inspire’, as part of Artarmon Public School’s celebrations for Book Week in Week 6, we will be holding a Donate-a-Book Fair to allow families the opportunity to sponsor the purchase of a book to help replenish our school library with quality texts students love to read. 

If you or your family would like to donate a book during this time, we are asking that you pre purchase a token to the value of either $5, $10 or $15. 

During Book Week, your child will have an opportunity to exchange their token for a book. The book will be put aside and your child will be the first to borrow the book at the end of the term, just in time for the school holidays! Inside all donated books will be a personalised plaque with your child’s name or family’s name in recognition of their kind contribution to our school library. 

Once returned, the book will be added to the Artarmon School Library for future students to borrow, foster their love of reading and see the name of who donated this book to our school.
