World Book Night is an annual celebration of reading for adults, held on 23 April to coincide with UNESCO’s International Day of the Book and the traditional birth and death date of William Shakespeare.

Often described as the adult equivalent of World Book Day, it encourages people to share books and inspire others to discover the benefits and enjoyment of reading.

Don’t miss out - come along, grab a free book, and get reading!
