Libraries across the county will once again be celebrating World Book Day this year, and will be giving away thousands of free book vouchers and a limited number of free World Book Day books.
While stocks last,
children can come to the library to pick up one of the free titles. These
include ‘Elmer and the Patchwork Story’, ‘Marv and the Ultimate Superpower’,
‘Loki: Tales of a Bad God and Can You Get Jellyfish in Space?’. Thanks to Siop
y Siswrn, the libraries also have some Welsh titles available. These include
‘Lledrith yn y Llyfrgell’ and ‘Ffeithiau Ffiaidd y Corff’.
This year, World
Book day falls on Thursday 7th March. World Book Day is a worldwide celebration
of books and reading and first took place in the UK and Ireland in 1997.
Whilst at the
library families can also choose books to borrow from the wide selection
available on library shelves, and library staff are on hand to help with
suggestions, whether children prefer joke books, adventure stories, comic books
or fairy tales.
There are also
thousands of books available on the Borrowbox app, including audiobooks that
can be downloaded for free.
For younger
families the Bookstart Team will be holding World Book Day themed rhyme times
all week and places can be booked online: https://bookwhen.com/denbighshire-bookstart
Councillor Emrys
Wynne, Lead Member for Welsh Language, Culture & Heritage said:
“World Book day is
celebrated far and wide, and our libraries are certainly doing their bit this
year, with thousands of book vouchers available to Denbighshire residents.
There are also a
limited number of free children’s books available, which are first come, first
serve. Whilst at their local library, families can access the wide array of
services offered to them, including the brilliant Borrowbox app.”
