March 2023 EVENTS

WORLD BOOK DAY 2 MARCH

We celebrate World Book Day and the joy of reading every year. Especially this year when we all struggling one way or another and the world of books can offer us escape from the real world. According to Literacy Trust "three in five (59.3%) children and young people told us during the first lockdown that reading makes them feel better. It shows just how important it is to encourage children to read for pleasure during these very turbulent times." Please check the World Book Day website below and found out more about book vouchers for children. Also the LRC offers a wide range of novels, biographies and leisure reading. This is only a few examples you can find in our library.
