I’m just so grateful for the books received and the buzz it created amongst our students and in the library. With next to no budget, the books have refreshed the library and added a nice range of up-to-date books. These are really appealing to students. I have students reserving books which hasn’t happened for a while! There was a lovely selection of graphic novels and YA novels.

We were really pleased with our books. A variety of genres and Welsh language books. We were extremely grateful.

They were desperate to take the ones they liked – especially Hannah Gold’s sequel as they had read her book as a class. One child, who doesn’t usually like reading, asked to take a book home straight away.

Your Brilliant Box of Books went into Paediatrics today and was very well received by the staff and the children. We’re still so excited and with beaming smiles. Many, many thanks again from all of us here at PHU and it has certainly opened up a discussion of how we might be able to benefit that department further.
