Book Fair 2023 - Update

St Brendan's Book Fair has wrapped up for another year. A BIG Thank You to everyone who came along, helping to make it another very successful Book Fair. This year, sales earned us more than 40 free new books for our library collection. 

An extra special thank you to the families and staff who purchased a "Red Dot" book for donation to the library - keep a look out for them on the library “New Books Display” during this term, they'll all have special Book Fair 2023 Donation book plates inside!
