Congratulations to our Daventry Librarian Hannah Gibson, who has won the opportunity to give away 24 copies of one of her favourite books, in a competition held to mark World Book Night.
World Book Night is a celebration of reading and books which sees tens of thousands of people gift books within their communities to spread the joy and love of reading. Hannah submitted her entry and was lucky enough to be selected to give away 24 copies of 'Let The Right One In' by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Hannah says:
"I intend to give the books away in my College Library. Most people may believe that the students using the library are heavy book users, but they would be wrong in one respect. College libraries have a strong focus on books related to the curriculum- textbooks and more textbooks, e-resources and the internet all leave the fiction book on the outside, cold and lonely amongst the shelves. These young minds are so busy with their studies that the average fiction book for pleasure is totally overlooked. By giving them this book I hope to spark their enthusiasm for fiction which will lead to a lifetime of reading."
World Book Night will take place on April 23rd 2012. Why not have a look at some of the events that may be happening in your area to celebrate the love of reading.
