Mayor Tony Ritchie pays tribute to The Bookplace for putting on the event and with over 500 children attending. "It shows very clearly what the community can do for the community when it's council-backed... I have known The Bookplace for a numbers of years now, and there is no other body in this borough that has done more for grassroots development than The Bookplace has. As long as I am a councillor I will continue to fight for The Bookplace".
