Activities will include songs, rhymes and stories alongside other activities with plenty for children to make and do.

North Somerset has been chosen as one of just five locations within a series of national events being organised by the Book Trust in the run up to World Book Day on Thursday 2 March 2023.

As a result, the event will be filmed by the World Book Day team and those attending will be required to give permission when they apply to take part in this national promotion.

Details of all the events taking place across North Somerset libraries are available on the council's website.
