5 MARCH 2020 WORLD BOOK DAY

Celebrate World Book Day with Surrey Libraries!

Help us celebrate World Book Day on Thursday 5 March and ‘Share a Million Stories’ throughout March.

World Book Day is the world’s biggest campaign to provide every child and young person in the country with a book of their own and inspire them to read more. Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator for success in life, more than family circumstances, educational background, or income. But it’s in decline. So, what not visit your local library and make the most of this month’s buzz about books and reading?

Join us in supporting the global ‘Share a Million Stories’ campaign. Sharing stories together – anywhere, anytime – for just ten minutes a day has long-lasting effects on a child’s future and being read to is critical in igniting enthusiasm for reading, and creating lifelong readers. How can you get involved? Join your local library and borrow more books to capture your child’s new enthusiasm for reading. Visit your local library and spend 10 minutes reading a story together. Join us for one of our weekly Storytimes. Ask about Children’s Chatterbooks reading groups. Encourage your child’s class to organise a visit to your local library. Find out how teenagers can inspire younger children by volunteering with Summer Reading Challenge.

Drop into your local library or visit surreycc.gov.uk/libraries to find out about our events.
