Join a Library!


Saturday 26th April will be the first ever 'Join a Library Day'.

As part of the National Year of Reading's library recruitment campaign, libraries throughout England can expect a variety of new members as a universal joining form appears in the Daily Mirror.

Children's newspaper First News and local press nationwide will also offer their support to the campaign which will hopefully see thousands of people flocking to their libraries, where they will receive a 'Welcome to Your Library' joining pack. (350,000 have been produced.)

There is also an added incentive for young people to join as the first 235,000 new young members will receive a free copy of the NYR's Ultimate Book Guide, outlining the best children's and teen reads.

The National Year of Reading runs until December and aims to "help build a greater national passion for reading in England - for children, families and adult learners alike."

Leave a comment and let us know what you've got planned for national 'Join a Library Day'!
