World Book Day is a day to promote reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own. Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success – more than their family circumstances, their parents’ educational background or their income.
Our library staff are keen for all Lambeth children become library members and develop a life-long habit of reading for pleasure, as it has been shown it will have such a positive impact on their future lives. On WBD our libraries will be showcasing some of the great books that can really make a difference. Do pop in and have a look.
