World Book Night 23 April 2021
World Book Night is the annual celebration of books and reading on 23 April that brings people from all backgrounds together for one reason – to inspire others to read more. Presented by The Reading Agency, and in partnership with Specsavers, in 2021 we’re celebrating our 10th anniversary with a special “Books to Make You Smile” theme.
Applications are open now for organisations to receive copies of books from our booklist to distribute to people who don’t regularly read for pleasure or have access to books. If you work for a library, prison, hospital, college, care home, or any other organisation that can reach new and lapsed readers, apply now.
