Earlier this year, Annette Brooke, MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, entered a prize draw amongst MPs and won first prize which was £1000 of children's books for a local school. The event was organised by Scholastic Books to publicise and promote World Book Day.
Annette decided to organise a further prize draw amongst all the schools in Mid Dorset and North Poole and also to divide the prize between 2 schools. The lucky schools were Colehill First School and Canford Heath Middle School. Both schools were able to choose a wide selection of books for their libraries.
Last week Annette was able to visit the schools and present them with their new books.
Annette said of the day: "It was wonderful to see all the new books being enjoyed by the children and to talk to them about their favourite books and why they like reading!"
