Oswestry Library kicks off with the Big Sporting Read!
Come along to Oswestry Library on Arthur Street, on the morning of Thursday, 15 August to meet with lots of local sporting organisations. Find a new interest or rediscover an old one, and perhaps be inspired to pick up a book at the same time!
In May, The Reading Agency and BBC Arts launched the Big Sporting Read at the Hay Festival, with a list of 25 titles celebrating a landmark summer of sport. The campaign aims to use the power of sport to inspire readers across the UK, highlighting the links between sporting excellence, reading, health and wellbeing. The Big Sporting Read list was crowdsourced and the final list was compiled by an independent panel of librarians and booksellers. You can see the full list on the Reading Agency website here: Big Sporting Read - The Reading Agency.
