Library Fire

Heartbreaking - Fire Damage

" It will be interesting to see if any books survived. When I visited the smell of smoke was strong, the carpet was sodden, due to the wonderful firemen who managed to prevent the fire spreading and everything was black. This event has produced some amazing photos though and these particular shots were taken by Sandy Hastings." Mrs Chin

Sam and Nikita Bryson were very sad to see these photos. They said they will donate some of their books from home. Maybe if others do the same our school can have a temporary, makeshit library for now. Anna.

Thanks Anna, I am sure a statement regarding book donations etc will be made in a week or two once we have had a chance to discuss next step options. Everyone has been incredibly supportive and it is so appreciated. Pam would not recognise the place.

Definitely keen to donate some books! A number of friends and family have already asked how they can give to a 'Books for Beckenham' collection. Looking forward to helping to get our library up and running again quickly! Kathryn Cornfoot (mum of Kate)
