BookCrossing
Throughout the year, in collaboration with South Devon College Adult & Community Learning, we are releasing 100 books “into the wild” as part of the global Bookcrossing phenomenon. Bookcrossing is a huge worldwide book club based around an enormous reader website (check out the link on the right hand side) 20 books were released to mark World book Day on March 6th and a further 20 are released this month. Details of each book's release location are included on the BookCrossing website - why not see if there's a book waiting to be read near you? Then you can add your own comments about it to the website.
