How it works

  1. A call

    Fifteen minutes to talk about your class, the date and what they like reading. Book it below.

  2. The plan

    We send a plan and a list of books; you tell us about any needs or allergies.

  3. The visit

    Walk the class over, or we come to you. Children can bring a little money to spend.

  4. Afterwards

    A book list for every child to take home, and the class story for your library.

Schools
