World Book Night
World Book Night brings people from all backgrounds together for one reason – to inspire others to read more. Organisations and individuals celebrate the difference that reading makes to our lives.
World Book Night is celebrated on 23 April and run by The Reading Agency.
We tackle life’s big challenges through the proven power of reading.
