One of the best ways to celebrate Book Lovers Day is by gathering all your book-loving friends and sharing ideas about your favourite books over a big slice of cake.

As a charity, we wouldn't be able to survive if it wasn't for generous donations. By donating to Listening Books, you're giving more people the opportunity to experience the world of books. Donate here!

 

  • Visit your local library

Why not check out what activities are going on at your local library? This is a great idea if you have little ones, as many libraries host different events aimed at children during the summer holidays.
