World Book Night - Thursday 23rd of April
Join us as we celebrate World Book Night. We are joining with the Reading Agency in celebrating reading with the Reading Hour from 7.00 - 8.00 pm. You can do anything you want related to books: read alone, read with or to someone, or even call a friend to chat about books and share recommendations. You can read a print book, e-book, or listen to an audiobook, and it doesn’t matter what you read. Pick up the book that you’ve been meaning to read for years, or borrow a book from our digital lending services (sign-up now if you’re not already a member) - www.libraryonline.org.uk. On the night you will be able to tell us what you are doing and share an image of what you are reading. More information to follow on our WBN quiz and our challenge to create a book rainbow.
