March 4 is World Book Day!

We tweeted and posted back in November about why reading is so important and beneficial, so harness the power of books and GET INVOLVED!

First – here is your World Book Day digital Book Token: https://www.worldbookday.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/booktoken_SecondaryUK.pdf

Use the digital Book Token to buy the special World Book Day books or get money off your choice of book or audio book.

The World Book Day website has an incredible number of resources to help everyone get more out of books and stories. But we especially recommend the following:

**Activities, book extracts and reading lists**

**Live scheduled author events on YouTube**

**General site with more ideas for families**
