In celebration of World Book Night, get a free book between 10am and 3pm by visiting the Nottingham City Library kiosk on the South Square (outside Boots).
In the UK, 1 in 6 (8.5 million) adults struggle to read. We know that this limits life choices. Reading for pleasure and empowerment makes us more aware and informed. It helps us grow our imaginations. It makes us more empathetic and understanding of other people and cultures. It supports our health and wellbeing. It increases our ability to learn new skills. It helps us to communicate our ideas more effectively. It opens doors. It brings joy.
World Book Night brings people from all backgrounds together for one reason – to inspire others to read more. Organisations and individuals hold events up and down the country to celebrate the difference that reading makes to our lives, from book themed parties at home to books swaps in offices. Organisations can volunteer to hand out books from our annual list to people who don’t read for pleasure or own books.
World Book Night is celebrated on 23 April and run by The Reading Agency.
The Reading Agency is a UK charity that inspires social and personal change through the proven power of reading. We work with individuals of all ages, communities and trusted partners to share the transformative benefits of reading for happy, healthy and thriving lives.
Let’s get more people fired up about reading because everything changes when you read.
