Scottish Primary School Library Competition

To celebrate the importance of libraries in Scottish schools Floris Books has opened a competition for one lucky primary school library to win £500 worth of Kelpies books!

Why are libraries in Scottish schools important?

At Floris Books, we passionately believe in the importance of Scottish school libraries with dedicated and knowledgeable staff. We also believe in filling them with books that have characters, locations and themes Scottish children can identify with, as well as literature from across the world.

What's the prize?

One Scottish primary school's library will win £500 worth of books from our Kelpies ranges which includes Picture Kelpies (picture books for 3 to 6 year olds), Kelpies (children's novels for 8 to 12 year olds) and KelpiesTeens (young teen novels for 11 to 14 year olds). Books will be chosen by the winning school from available titles.
