Each year, World Book Day creates bespoke £1 books for children and young adults across the UK and Ireland, to promote the power of imagination and the importance of reading.

Through World Book Day, every child in Mansfield and Warsop will be given a £1 book token, which they can take to a bookshop or supermarket to get their free World Book Day book.

“World Book Day offers children the chance to change their reading habits and celebrate the joy of books.
