The books are HERE!

Yesterday was a big day for me. My dad and I hired a truck, drove to the other side of Sydney, loaded 3.5 tonnes of books (that’s 253 cartons) into the truck, drove it back and with the help of some fabulous friends, unloaded them all. That’s a lot of books!

THE BOOKS ARE HERE! […]
