Love Your Library - Libraries Week 2018

October 9th 2018

At Peters, we're passionate about inspiring children to read for pleasure, and libraries are crucial to ensuring all young people get access to books they enjoy. That's why we're celebrating everything libraries this Libraries Week! On this page you'll find lots of hints and tips for schools and public libraries, on everything from top ten reads for every year group to how to make the most of even the smallest reading space. The focus of Libraries Week this year is wellbeing, so we've also included some recommended reads to support wellbeing and empathy, selected by our team of librarians and curriculum experts. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram for updates plus exciting competitions and giveaways throughout the week!
