How can libraries 'Go All In'?Bring the National Year of Reading to life in your library with free resources, ready-to-run ideas and support. Encourage your audiences – adults and children – to go all in at your library, tapping into their interests and passions, showing how the library offer can support their interests. Think about how you can encourage people to discover your library and everything it has to offer. Your book stock and regular programming already tap into interests and passions, from Rhyme Time, to Knit and Natter, and from gardening books to manga collections. Find out more by downloading the National Year of Reading Public Libraries Toolkit. |
