There will be a Book Fair in the Infant school reception area and under the tent in the Plaza from 8 AM to 4 PM Wed-Fri this week (Jan. 18-20).
The vendor- Bookaburra - is a specialist children's bookseller. Its retail outlet is at Forum The Shopping Mall, and it also runs regular book fairs in the local and international schools. Their website is currently under construction but here is a sample of one of their newsletters.
Fliers for parents should arrive tomorrow, Tuesday Jan. 10. Please feel free to bring your classes down to browse -- and to check it out yourselves.
You are also more than welcome to pick out books for the school to buy for the library -- or for your department. All you have to do is tell the bookstall staff that you want to put this book aside for the school to purchase. They may make you add your name to a clipboard or something. Later I will be given a list of the books put aside and will send it out to everyone to confirm.
You can also just snap photos (if you have a smartphone on you) of the covers of books you're interested in. Don't worry about whether we might have it or not. I can check whether it's already cataloged, waiting to be cataloged, or on an order list.
