World Book Night
Tuesday 23rd April 2024 17.30 to 21.00
Bibliophiles, reading enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys a good tale are invited to Stoneleigh Community Library on Tuesday 23rd April for a special World Book Night celebration. This free event for adults runs from 5.30 pm until 9.00 pm, packed full of literary delights.
Kicking off the festivities is the launch of the Spring Reading Challenge (see above), offering the perfect motivation to pick up some fantastic new reads. Those feeling competitive can pit their book knowledge against others in a fun book quiz. The prize will be a set of books from the World Book Night booklist. Quiz sheets will need to be completed and handed in by 8:30pm; the winning entry will be announced at 9:00pm.
For bibliophiles struggling to decide what to read next, the event provides the chance to choose a free pre-loved book to take home and cherish. Attendees are also encouraged to share their top book recommendations with fellow literature lovers.
As we say: "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."
With such an enticing evening planned, why not pop in?
