World Book Night

WBD

World Book Night is a celebration of reading and books which sees tens of thousands of volunteers gift specially chosen and printed World Book Night books in their communities to share their love of reading. 

 

Last year, over 5000 books were given out across Cambridgeshire, thanks to 270 volunteers. 

This year, our libraries are once again being used as pick up points.
