Whats World Book Day?
WBD is a global celebration of books, authors, and the joy of reading! Founded by UNESCO in 1995, it’s a day dedicated to encouraging people of all ages to discover the magic of storytelling. In the UK, schools, libraries, and bookshops come together to inspire a love of reading, often with book-themed activities, fancy dress, and free book vouchers for children (this strikes fear into most primary age parents!) Whether you're diving into a new novel or revisiting an old favourite, World Book Day is the perfect excuse to slow down and enjoy a good book.
