Breeze Reads Virtual Book Club


The Breeze International Youth Festival and Leeds Libraries are working in partnership to present breezereads – an exciting new series of events for young people.

Following public readings from Melvin Burgess, Cathy Hopkins and Sarah Singleton, lots more popular writers will be visiting Leeds this year giving you the chance to meet your favourite author and ask them questions about their work.

2008 is The National Year of Reading.
To celebrate the launch of the National Year of Reading on 26th April, breezereads will be inviting you to join in with a virtual book club and other fun activities to keep you entertained while exercising your grey matter.

More details coming very soon!
