International Children's Book Day

Each year, on or around the anniversary of the birth of Hans Christian Andersen, celebrations of children’s books take place all around the world. We have been lucky to acquire some fun activities and giveaways from Puffin books and on Friday, our Celebrity Reader session will have a special lucky door prize for one audience member and special Puffin stickers for everyone.

The wonderful Jackie French shared this thought during the week. What a marvellous insight into books it is!

“A writer is a literary window washer. Writers write so the reader sees what is already there more clearly. A book does not change the world, but those who have read it, and see what they have never known, or never understood, may decide to act. Or at the least, they will see the world shine just a little more brightly.”
