Reading Week 19-26 June

 Reading Awareness Week

(19-26 June)

Alan Bennett once said: “A book is a device to ignite the imagination.”

 Reading deepens and expands our sense of life. They feed the soul, make us laugh, and learn to find solutions to problems and solace in life. Books have the power to transport us to new worlds and different times, but they can also take us back to the important moments in our own lives. you can visit your local library and read books available there, or if you can’t go to the libraries most books have their books available in PDF or ePub format so you can read them on your e-reader, iPad, or your computer screen. There are also many sources online where you can download free e-books, so go hunting for something new to read be it classical literature, poetry, fashion magazines, biographies, religious texts, storybooks, novels, self-help guides, there is something out there to capture your curiosity and imagination.  We need sometimes to step away from our computer games and other online sites and crack open a book and replenish our soul.
