World Book Day By Mark Gill W orld Book Day, a global celebration of books, authors and reading, was held in the first half of March. On this day, there were many special fun events such as sales in bookstores, free £1 book tokens that can be spent in any book shop, encouragement for reading for pleasure and fun activities in many libraries across the world. In the Raymond Chandler Library we celebrated with many different events, such as a Speed Shelf - Off where people competed to order the books on a shelf as quickly as possible. This happened every day for a week, with a leader board for the top five fastest shelvers, and the overall leader receiving a prize. There was also a Book Face Competition where you position yourself to make it seem like you are an extension of the cover. All of these events are free for anyone to participate, and you are encouraged to join in on the fun! So next year, come along to the library on World Book Day, compete in all of the competitions and celebrate the world of books!
