Happy #WorldBookDay 📚
Today is all about inspiring children to have fun with reading and letting their creative minds soar. I've *loved* seeing photos of children across Durham heading to school dressed as their favourite characters!
This year, we have even more to celebrate in the City of Durham. @7Stories announced that they are opening a pop-up bookshop in the city.
The bookshop is focused on social engagement, reaching out to deprived communities and schools to promote reading, support wellbeing, and build confidence in both reading and storytelling.
I'm so excited to see this initiative, which not only celebrates literature but also inspires the next generation of readers!
