WORLD BOOK NIGHT is for everyone, whether you read regularly or less often, and is the perfect opportunity to celebrate books and the difference they make to your life and others. At Little Acorns Bookstore, we are delighted to open especially for WORLD BOOK NIGHT on Wednesday 23 April with an evening of celebrating and championing books, reading quietly and/or aloud, followed by chat and discussion over two floors, in two rooms.
From 6pm - 7pm, folks are welcome to browse the bookshop, meet and greet, have a cuppa and settle in for the evening.
From 7pm - 8pm, we will participate in the nationwide #ReadingHour to create positive reading habits.
This will have one room of 'quiet reading' and another room with 'read-aloud' by participants to the rest of the group. The books will be provided from the QUICK READS selection of 2025.
From 8pm - 9pm, we will all congregate together to discuss and chat about the experience; how being read to or reading alone made you feel; what folks thought of the book choices; what other suggested books would you recommend and would like to do this again and on a more regular basis?
Entry £3 includes a hot/cold drink & snacks plus one of the Quick Read titles and other goodies.
Booking is essential (link coming soon).
WORLD BOOK NIGHT was first celebrated in the UK and Ireland in 2011 on 5 March. In 2012 it was moved to 23 April, the UNESCO International Day of the Book and, probably, the birth and death date of William Shakespeare.
