Reading friends and family day 2023

World Book Night 23 April

We hope that you enjoyed celebrating World Book Night with us on 23 April. But reading is not just for one day (or night)! Make reading part of your daily routine by having your own #ReadingHour, or set aside some time each day to read. Even 30 minutes of reading a week can have a positive impact on your wellbeing. Find out about the benefits of reading for pleasure.
