As we all said, it was far too sunny for an indoor task! But many hands make light work, and we brought out books by the box-load to organise for the book sale.

The only thing that held us back was an issue of categorisation: should the poetry books go in fiction or non-fiction? This threatened to derail our whole system and leave the group dynamic in tatters. Luckily Steve calmed the controversy with a gentle reading of one of the poems in question, by Roger McGough, on kiwis doing wiwis. That rhyme alone was enough to convince us that it actually belonged... in the children's section.
