Happy World Book Day
David said he is proud to support efforts to encourage more children to read. Across the area, the National Literacy Trust in Stoke-on-Trent runs a range of events, including its “Tales in the Parks” programme during the summer with book giveaways and storytelling.
He was also pleased to welcome Jayden from Haywood Academy to No 10 a few months ago to celebrate the work he does promoting reading, including setting up an open bookcase outside his home in Tunstall. David also praised the important role local libraries play in supporting reading.
With this year marking the National Year of Reading, David said there will be many opportunities locally for people to get involved and wished everyone a happy World Book Day.
