About the event
Statistics show that reading enjoyment is at the lowest levels ever recorded, so why is this? And more importantly, what can we do about it?
Join our panelists for this important discussion to find out. We will hear their thoughts, and then open it up for a q&a to hear yours.
Aimed at parents, teachers, librarians and anyone who believes in the power of stories and wants to be involved in making change.
This is a free or pay as you feel event.
When: 6.30pm, Saturday 12th July
Where: The Old Synagogue
