St Thomas School Fete fun.
We positioned ourselves under an old tree which sheltered us from the rain and the hot sun (yes there was both!) and hung postcards of book covers and the Summer Reading Challenge from the branches along with some bunting.
Joe Blackman and myself worked our socks off encouraging the customers over to the stall
I managed to do a presentation on stage for a very chuffed Book Tracker winner also advertising how brilliant our library service was, of course.
RADIO EXE mentioned the library several times throughout the day and our competition 'Spot the Spider' (a grid based game) went down a storm. About 130 odd people had a go (adults and kids)! The biggest pull was that it was FREE and you could win something. Oh and the sweets on the table helped too.
Anyway I believe over 350 people that day must have seen or heard something about the St Thomas Library, which we are happy with.
