WORLD BOOK DAY - 2ND MARCH 2023

World Book Day changes lives through a love of books and reading.  They are a charity that operates in the UK and Ireland and will be celebrating World Book Day on 2 March 2023.

Their mission is 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.

We want to see more children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with a life-long habit of reading for pleasure and the improved life chances this brings them.

Designated by UNESCO as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, World Book Day is marked in over 100 countries around the globe.
