World Book Day in Harpenden

World Book Day is an annual event that is celebrated across the globe. This day is dedicated to promoting the love for reading and encouraging people to read more.


In Harpenden, World Book Day is a special occasion that is celebrated with enthusiasm in schools with various events and activities to celebrate the day. These events include book readings, storytelling sessions, book fairs, and literary quizzes. Children and adults alike are encouraged to dress up as their favorite book character and you'll see many people dressed up on their way to school today!
