Whilst we’re sure everyone has heard of World Book Day, World Book Night is probably a less well known event. Following hot on the heels of World Book Day, World Book Night was held on Thursday 23rd April, and shifted the focus to adult reading. It encouraged everyone to join in with a special reading hour between 7 and 8pm, and was particularly well supported this year as part of the National Year of Reading. There were many suggestions as to how adults could incorporate some reading into their evenings, including participating in a book group, listening to an audiobook whilst completing one of the many evening tasks we all have to get through, reading to the children at bedtime, or just carving out an hour to indulge in reading for pleasure. Dressing up as a favourite book character wasn’t required, although there’s no doubt that some will have taken a World Book Night as the perfect excuse to don their Harry Potter robes or their shiny red Dorothy shoes! Here in the KWS library we celebrated by inviting all the staff to come and visit us to peruse our CPD (continuing professional development) texts, our adult fiction section, and to look over our print stock related to their subject. And we also reminded them about the staff book swap spinner we have in the staff room. If you missed taking part on Thursday 23rd, then any night is a good night to find some escapism with a good book.
