What Schools Say

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your generosity. It was so lovely to see our pupils dart over to look through the books as soon as the ribbon was cut, it was clear to see that the area will be much used and loved. The library has added a new lease of life to the Happy Cafe already and we can't wait to be able to use it and share it with our pupils and their families.”

“It is hard to sum up just how wonderful Jo and the ABC Book Club team are. We have our dream school library now and it would not exist without them! As well as supporting this project financially by matching our fundraising (and more!), Jo also project managed the entire thing. The final result is just phenomenal. It is more than just library - we have an immersive space! I cannot say enough good things about this organisation. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
