Just before WBD, LSA students went on a trip to the official 'WBD Greatest Show on Earth' in Preston Guild Hall, where they enjoyed some great presentations by writers and illustrators before receiving signed copies of books from the UK's Children's Laureate; Chris Riddell and other great writers. The show was a big success with students rating it 9 out of 10.
Back at school, the Student Library Committee decided to try something different and organised a Big Book & Comic Swap and fundraiser for the day: Collecting for Book Aid International. The idea was to bring readers out of their solitary reading habits to share and discuss their favourite books with others and come away with something new to read.
Posters and signed books were awarded as Prizes to the Year 7 readers that made the best Pirates on the day, and other students that helped out with the book swap. Afterwards, Everyone agreed that the Book & Comic Swap should become a regular feature at LSA Library in the future.
