Ensure others know about your event so that they remember to bring books and donations. At my school we sent all of the parents an email providing all the necessary information
Tell participants to bring in one or preferably more books leading up to the event- the books should be in good condition
Create a timetable if needed to organise when each year group will choose one free book
Set up and books categorise them. We categorised them at my school into groups such as nursery- reception, year 1-year 2, year 3-year 4 and year 5-year 6
Give pupils the opportunity to browse at all the books and let them pick one. This was the most fun part of the day
Sell all the remaining books for donations once EVERYONE has received one free book
Throughout the rest of the week, carry on selling the remaining books for donations. If they just aren't selling then donate them to a library or charity shop
Once you are happy that your sale has ended, count up your money and send it off to Voices of Children
Please contact us with photos and information on your event and we can add your photos to our gallery and the money you've raised to our Totalometer.
