This year World Book Day took place on 5th March. It is a day dedicated to the enjoyment of books, celebrating authors and reading. In recent times, sadly lots of people have become more interested in devices than books. However, there are still many young people who have found a passion for reading and writing and this should be celebrated.
Miss Parkin, the school librarian, is passionate about young people finding enjoyment in reading. “I think World Book Day is good because it’s not just about reading by yourself, it's about sharing your interests with others.” Avid reader Harshali (7X) feels that books “allow people to use their imaginations without the need for any electronics. It doesn't cost anything to have an imagination!”
Originally created in 1995, World Book Day is something to focus on for the day but can easily be celebrated all year round. “World Book Day is a registered charity on a mission to give every child and young person a book of their own.” Schools are able to purchase books from the companies such as Scholastics and the World Book Day website to encourage more people into reading for pleasure.
Remember to collect your book token from your form tutor. Visit https://www.worldbookday.com/ for more information and for inspiration.
As someone who loves books, I want to say thanks to the amazing authors who give us a bit of their imagination so we can explore worlds we have never visited before.
