World Book Day
Bibliophiles rejoice! Today (3 March) is International World Book Day!
The event, first held in Spain in 1995 and organised by UNESCO, is held every year to promote reading publishing and copyright. In the UK it is always the first Thursday of March. Millions of schoolchildren will be given £1 book tokens along with initiatives such as Spread The Word, Quick Reads Initiative and Books for Hospitals to encourage reading.
We at Worcestershire Literary Festival will be breaking open some bubbly later (or supermarket brand lemonade at least) to celebrate. Hope you all enjoy the day and why not settle down with a favourite book?
