Bookstart was the first national bookgifting programme in the world.
Booktrust initiated Bookstart in Birmingham in 1992 and are now celebrating 20 years of supporting and encouraging families to share books with their children.
Bookstart provides:
Free books to share
Support and guidance about reading to children
An opportunity to engage with other families at vibrant and fun community events
- A place to find everything you need to share books, stories and rhymes online.
In celebration of this incredible achievement, Bookstart are asking for people to take the pledge of sharing 20 books in 2012.
Please visit http://www.booktrust.org.uk/bookgifting/bookstart/bookstart20/ to make the pledge and to discover more about Bookstart.
