Who this task will support
Maidenhead's Big Read
Our aim is to encourage adults and children from all backgrounds to read more, own books and visit their local library. We believe there is truly no greater pleasure in life than curling up in a big armchair and getting lost in a good book, magazine or comic. Maidenhead's second Maidenhead's Big Read runs from the 28th of February to the 8th of March, coinciding with World Book Day.

Time/date to suit you - choose a 2 hour time slot on Saturday 7th and/or Sunday 8th of March.

The Maidenhead Big Read is all about inspiring everyone to fall in love with reading. As part of their programme this year they have a fantastic line up of events around the theme of 'movement' planned for the weekend of the 7th/8th of March, including story telling, guest authors and craft activities.
