Tips
- Head to your local library to browse their collections and ask the experts. Remember, libraries don’t just loan physical books these days. Most have an assortment of e-books, audiobooks and comics that you can download to your phone or tablet.
- Discover stories that explore different ways of life and challenges people face by taking a look at some of Empathy Lab’s recommendations.
- From readathons to reading ideas, World Book Day is bursting with books for every mood, season and genre.
- Have a go at the Summer Reading Challenge, to discover new and exciting books, and try out some book-themed games and activities.
- Take a look at the Great Books Guide to discover 100 sensational stories, from the sad to the silly to the scary (and everything in between).
- Ask your friends, family, teachers or Section Team Leaders what their favourite books are. Sharing stories that have shaped us is a great way to learn more about each other, and find something fantastic to read at the same time.
