Sligo County Library is delighted to be celebrating the 10th Birthday of World Book Day on Thursday March 1st 2007. World Book Day has become firmly established as the biggest annual event promoting the enjoyment of books and reading. To mark the day, the Deputy Mayor of Sligo Councillor Jude Devins will be in Sligo Central Library at 11am to celebrate the occasion.
On World Book Day 2006, twelve of the biggest names in fiction and non-fiction were published under the Quick Reads banner – these books have been specially written to appeal to those of us who have lost or are yet to develop the habit of reading for pleasure.
Eight new titles in the Quick Reads series of books will be launched on the day. , there's a great choice to get you started as they are written by authors known in and beyond the world of books. Authors include Kerry Katona, Ricky Tomlinson and Allen Carr. They are bite-sized books which will appeal to anyone who wants a short fast read!
Everybody is welcome to come along and enjoy the day!
