The United Kingdom today, 1st March, celebrates World Book Day.  All around the country school and public libraries are finding ingenious ways of celebrating books and reading.

World Book Day has now been celebrated in the UK for 10 years, and grows in support every year.  £1.00 book tokens are provided for children through their schools, and a range of £1.00 books by top children's authors are published to allow children a choice.  This year, to celebrate the 10 years, there will be 10 of these.

Adults too can join in the fun by nominating the 10 books they couldn't live without.  More information about the celebrations on the WBD website.

We wish all our members a Happy World Book Day, and hope that their readers will be enthused and inspired by the work they put in.
