What Is The Little Readers Programme?

The WeBuyBooks Little Readers programme is a platform set up to offer support to Schools, Nurseries and Hospitals by giving these organisations the chance to get their hands on a donation of free books.

It is our belief that reading is an integral part of everyone’s education and needs to be encouraged wherever it can be. Because of this, we relaunched our Little Readers programme at the beginning of March 2023, and since then we have been able to donate over 2000 books to around 1500 children from schools all over Lancashire, and we aim to keep these donations going. 

So far, we have donated to the following schools: 

• Britannia Community Primary 
• Sharneyford Primary School 
• Northern Primary School in Bacup 
• Crawshawbooth Primary School 
• Balladen Primary School 
• Newchurch St Nicholas C.E. Primary School 
• All Saints Roman Catholic High School 
• Valley Leadership Academy

Once the books have been delivered, it is entirely up to the school what they do with them, so far all the books that have been donated have been put to great use topping up the school library, providing a World Book Day gift and in some cases even topping up the school’s book vending machine!
