Stephen will be based at Reception all morning on the 23rd to give out copies of this book, and he’ll also have a selection of fiction and non-fiction books for staff to borrow.

Why is this important?

. 

According to research conducted by The Reading Agency, 35% of all UK adults are now “lapsed readers”. There are many reasons for this, however extensive research has shown the benefits reading has on our wellbeing. 30 minutes of reading a week can make all the difference, so why not start on World Book Night? Set aside time between 7 and 8 on the 23 April and let us know what you are reading!
