We were delighted to sponsor Book Week in Guernsey this
year.
Book Week is a popular, longstanding initiative that welcomes
three popular children's authors to the island and this year
ran from 20 to 24 October.
It's one of the many events the Guilles-Allès Library
puts on each year to promote the magic of reading among
schoolchildren of all ages in primary and secondary schools.
Thanks to the support of Collas Crill, this year the library
arranged for acclaimed authors Peter Bently, Jenny Pearson, and Ele
Fountain to tour schools across the Bailiwick.
By the end of Book Week, these authors had visited all the local
primary and secondary schools to inspire and engage, meeting more
than 5,000 children from reception through to year 9.
