Reading Hack is teaming up with BBC #Love to Read to celebrate books and reading in the two weeks leading up to the BBC #Love to Read weekend in early November – http://www.readinghack.org.uk/blog/reading-hack-does-lovetoread.
Manchester is hosting the national flagship event – offering an opportunity for young people to get involved in hacking reading activities, and to find our more about the volunteering opportunities available for 13 – 24 year olds in Libraries.
