I am Lyn Blackledge, (an ex teacher) and have been selling children's books for 17 years.I have sold for various publishers but now have a variety and am adding to the range as and when I discover gorgeous new books. I am having a lot of fun and making a lot of friends. I also run other businesses from home so basically I have my own big department store! I am an Ambassador for Barefoot books and a distributor for Child's Play books. I have recently become a distributor for Wikaniko - (helping people take small green steps to save the Earth without costing the Earth) http://lynsgreenbiz.co.uk I also enjoy helping people save money on their essential household bills (http://lynsutilitybiz.co.uk) I am also a Rotarian and am a past president. - motto service above self and I love helping to fundraise for charity as well as enjoying the camaraderie of the Vectis sunrise group. I have the responsibility of being a carer for my mum and at the other end of the scale I am granny to Charlotte, Nicola and Jennifer. As you can see I am quite busy but I love it and enjoy life to the full.

Calling all Island businesses

April 10th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Would you like to help to raise the literacy standards on the Isle of Wight in this the National Year of Reading? We are running a COMMUNITY BOOK PLEDGE. For a small (or even a large) donation, you can pledge books for local schools. Your business will be advertised on our Usborne websites and a book plate will be put in the books. My team of Usborne organisers on the Island will promote your business through our customer bags. We are hoping to raise £5000 in pledges. Usborne Books at Home will then match this with a further £3000 in FREE books and these books will be given to the local schools. To browse the catalogue and view the range visit http://www.usborneonline.org/catalogue/browse.asp?css=1&org=BLA09113   or come and cisit us at Ryde Castle Hotel on Sunday April 20th between 2 and 5 pm where we will be running an Usborne book fair  by invitation of Ian, Sandra and Nikki, the new management team.
