National Reading Group Day 2013 is almost here

National Reading Group Day 2013 will take place on Saturday 29 June.

We’re pleased to be working once again in partnership with The Booksellers Association to celebrate everything to do with reading groups and book clubs wherever they take place – libraries, bookshops, community centres, pubs, churches, bakeries, cafes, schools, work places, theatres, hospitals, prisons, cinemas, online or, of course, your home.

We’ll have lots of exciting give aways and competitions on Reading Groups for Everyone, including books by Kathy Reichs, Dawn French and an exclusive Zadie Smith offer for London libraries. We’ll also offer reading groups the chance to win visits from authors including Karin Slaughter and Adele Parks.

We’ll have more information and news coming next week including a guide for library staff and booksellers, so make sure to check back to find out how to get involved.

Get involved

Download the poster and download the guide for libraries. Don’t forget to let us know what you are planning by getting in touch on Facebook and Twitter.

We’re looking forward to it and hope you are too.

It features a wide range of titles and authors, recommending great reads from both new and much-loved writers, encouraging listeners to perhaps try out a genre they might not have read before, and share their opinions and insights on the titles and great reads they’re enjoying right now.
