Connecting a nation in self-isolation

World Book Night 2020 is going digital, the plans have had to be modify due to Covid-19. Now more than ever we are encouraging the Borough to share in the pleasure of enjoying a book – in print, in or in audio. Join in the Reading Hour at 7pm on 23rd April, take time out to read alone or with others. Share a book with family, friends or colleagues, by giving recommendations, encouraging someone to join the library or gifting a book. You could video call the Grandchildren and read them a bedtime story. Get dressed up as characters from a book and set up a WhatsApp group and read a book together.  Have fun this Worl Book Night!!!
