Students and staff celebrate World Book Day

World Book Day is the biggest annual worldwide celebration of books and Peterborough Regional College are putting on activities on Thursday 5 March in the Student Common Room between 12:00 and 2:15 pm to mark this exciting event. 

This worldwide celebration reminds people about the pleasures of books and how you can transport yourself off to another world by getting lost in a good story.

Library+ staff at the College have organised an exciting afternoon packed full of interesting and challenging games where students will get the chance to participate in a variety of activities such as a matching game, a word search quiz and the opportunity to pick up a quick read or borrow a book from the book box. 

Students will also get chance to listen to a member of Peterborough Regional College’s teaching staff, James Fountain, who will read an extract from his published autobiographical novel ‘Out of Time’ which concerns a three-month period of his life when he was 16.

Claire Chinnery Library+ Manager says:

‘There were a number of successful events organised as part of 2008 National Year of Reading and we are excited to continue this in 2009 with the celebration of World Book Day.’
