The Book Dispensary, together with Penguin Random House Publishers, is thrilled to host beloved Australian children’s author Jacqueline Harvey in Forbes for an inspiring day of literacy events. Jacqueline will engage students from our local primary schools and host a special evening session for parents.
As well as these events, The Book Dispensary is also delighted to announce donations of $1,000 to each of the libraries at Forbes Public, Forbes North and St Laurence’s Schools and $500 to Forbes Preschool.
