World Book Night – 23rd April 2013

Production Arts students Sheri Clarke-Blackstock and Charlotte Figgitt receive their free World Book Night publications at our Henley-in-Arden site, from Library Assistant Julie Hands, who was chosen to be a giver this year.

World Book Night is a celebration of reading and books which sees tens of thousands of passionate volunteers gift specially chosen and printed books in their communities to share their love of reading.

Members of the public sign up to be givers, applying to give away a particular title with information on where, to whom and why they want to give their books. Applications are vetted by World Book Night and the original publisher and suitable givers are chosen based on their ability to reach those who don’t regularly read.
