We’re pleased to be celebrating World Book Night again this year. It’s a national celebration of books and reading, and we love being part of it.
This year, World Book Night is focusing on Quick Reads; short books and remarkable stories by bestselling authors. Quick Reads can provide a route into reading that prioritises great storytelling and adult-focused content while ensuring the books are written in an accessible and easy-to-read style.
Celebrate World Book Night at Redbridge Libraries
We’re hosting two Book Chat events on Tuesday, 23 April to give away copies of “Game On” by Matt Cain:
1.30pm to 2.30pm: Gants Hill Library
6pm to 7pm: Redbridge Central Library
Both events are free to attend and you can just turn up to discuss books and receive your copy.
Suitable for ages 16+ and adults.
Another way to celebrate World Book Night is to enjoy the Reading Hour from 7pm to 8pm and joining people across the UK in dedicating time to reading. You can do this in lots of different ways; reading alone, having a book club meeting, listening to an eAudiobook, or reading to children at bedtime to make it a family activity. You can even call a friend to chat about books and share reading recommendations.
You could also sign up for the Road to Reading. A little reading can go a long way. It can connect us to others, spark curiosity, boost our self-esteem and support our mental health. That’s why, this World Book Night, everyone’s invited to join the Road to Reading. Change your life, 30 minutes at a time! Sign up and pledge to read every week and see what a difference it makes. The Road to Reading lasts 10 weeks but can be the start of a lifetime of regular reading. Sign up from 16 April on the World Book Night website.
