We began on the enquiry desk, then on to the shop before going on to a couple of wards. A doctor going down the stairs was accosted with the question:"Would you like a free book?" and was pleased to accept one and a lot of nurses were also very pleased to take a copy off our hands.Patients and visitors were left smiling and in one case I apologised to a man in his bed as he seemed to have lost his visitor as she was deep in her copy as we left the ward!
A thoroughly enjoyable experience and we look forward to being able to track the travels of the copies we have given out, as each of the million books has its own unique identifying number written in the back.
A mammoth task; a mammoth occasion and an absolute success. Well done World Book Night organisers. Look forward to next year!
Well done for all your efforts in distributing the books - I am sure they will all be enjoyed by many people - anything that encourages people to read books is a great idea. Love Pamxx
