World Book Day® book-token exchange in Leeds Libraries
Leeds Libraries support the charity World Book Day in its mission to encourage all children to read for fun! World Book Day champions children’s choices, encouraging everyone to let go of pressure and expectations and give children a chance to see reading differently. This World Book Day, we’re working with World Book Day to help distribute over 400,000 books to children, with thanks to the support of The Julia Rausing Trust and Arts Council England.
To celebrate, we’re excited to be hosting World Book Day book-token exchange points at libraries across the city. Bring your World Book Day token to Seacroft Community Hub and Library, the Compton Centre Community Hub and Library, Armley Community Hub and Library or Morley Community Hub and Library and exchange it for one of this year’s brilliant World Book Day books!
The World Book Day book-token exchange will run from 12th February until 15th March.
Made possible with support from The Julia Rausing Trust and Arts Council England.
World Book Day® is a registered charity, company and trademark
