THE shelves are overflowing at All Saints’ College junior school library after Year 2 student Kaitlyn Martin won more than 300 books through the Kellogg’s Free Books competition.
Valued at $5000, the donation of 304 Penguin books means All Saints’ College students are now more spoiled for choice than ever.
“I’m happy because when the children go to the library there are more books for them to read and they don’t have to squabble over them,” Kaitlyn said.
