2020 was a year of change and uncertainty for so many of us, and it’s never been more important to stay connected with others and look after your mental health and wellbeing.

 

Your local libraries are inviting you to read for pleasure and share your love of books by taking part in the Adur and Worthing Reading Challenge 2021.

 

Join us in making twelve reading resolutions that we hope will inspire you, challenge you and connect you to fellow readers in Worthing, Shoreham and surrounding areas.

 

You can join as an individual, a group or a family – however you choose to be involved, everyone is welcome.

 

Contact your local library for more information. Sign up there or below on our online form.
