We will not spill much ink by asserting, with general inflation, that budgetary arbitration is not always in favor of literature in homes. This is why the association To read is to leave, sets up book sales at reduced prices In France.
This will be particularly the case Friday October 11, within the Claude-Bernard school of Busigny from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. “ The idea is to allow children to access books at home by offering reduced prices to parents », explains the director of the establishment, Emmanuel Dhaussy.

This is not second-hand: new works will be offered at a price of 90 cents, with a choice ranging from kindergarten to the start of high school for schoolchildren« from the heavily illustrated album to the little novel », adds the director. Who figures the stocks at “ around a hundred references, with several copies each time ».
The sale is open to everyone, without registration. It had already been organized in the past by the Social Life Space of the Busigny family association. “ It was a real success: participants placed their orders, and we collected their books. This time it will be for direct sale », Confirmed the head of the structure, Sandra Huleux.
