A huge thank you to everyone who’s bought a book off our list so far ❤️
If you’re out in Whitley Bay over half term, make sure you pop in to The Bound and ask for the Langley Wishlist. Every book takes us a step closer to growing our library 📚
Got two minutes next time you’re in Whitley Bay?
Reading for pleasure is one of the biggest drivers of progress in school, confidence, vocabulary, and long-term success… and it all starts with enjoying a good book.
We’re building up the school library so the children have more choice and more chance of finding books they want to pick up and keep reading.
We’ve teamed up with our lovely local independent bookshop, The Bound, to launch Langley First School’s Bookshelf Boost 📚
And we’d love your help.
Here’s all you need to do:
1. Pop into The Bound from this weekend and ask for the Langley wish list
2. Choose a book from the list and place your order (you’ll get 20% off)
3. Leave your email so we can add a little personalised sticker to say the book was gifted by your family (this is optional)
That’s it. Friends of Langley sort everything else and deliver the books into school for the children to enjoy.
What’s the benefit?
📖 More choice = a better chance of becoming a confident, happy reader
✨ They might even spot your name inside a book they bring home (always a fun moment!)
💛 And it all supports a brilliant local independent bookshop
And if you can’t buy a book, simply sharing this with other Langley families and friends is just as helpful. It all helps us grow the library for the children ❤️📚
