Readers Cup
Readers Cup celebrations go online
Given the new constraints in Singapore, our Readers Cup celebrations had to go online.
At the ceremony the Red Dot Books for next academic year were revealed and there are some fabulous books again! These books will all be in our libraries in August but if anyone isckeen to make a head start, we have asked Densie from Closetful of Books to make a book order from. They will deliver all book orders to your homes. Please find attached a QR code and here is a link to the order form.https://bit.ly/reddotbooks
