Your local libraries are inviting you to read for pleasure and share your love of books by taking part in the West Sussex Libraries Reading Challenge 2023.
Join us in making 12 reading resolutions that we hope will inspire and challenge you, and connect you to fellow readers across West Sussex.
You might want to join us as an individual reader or perhaps you would like to join us as part of a reading group? Our challenge prompts are suitable for readers of any age, so why not take on the challenge as a family? Everyone is welcome!
This month, librarians Anna, Becca, and Tom discuss what they are looking forward to reading in 2023.
