Friday 6th September is National Read a Book Day 2019 (there’s more info here)

…and here are a few reasons to read a book

• it’s the best excuse for peace and quiet

• you love sitting in your favourite chair

• you can do it whenever you want to

• you saw the film, but you heard the book is way better

• today’s world  is so loud and busy

Have you heard about the #HallamBigRead19 project yet?

Our chosen book is Kit De Waal’s My Name is Leon

There’s information here and the Big Read at Hallam Library Guide here on the Library Gateway
