A new Chapter for reading in the community

As promised in my last post, more on World Book Day at Chapter :D

Books have long been part of the community at Chapter, as it is home to  Cardiff Read book club (@CardiffRead), as well as many fantastic literature-related performances and events. Now Chapter have taken that one step further by creating an official Bookcrossing zone in the foyer. This bookshelf near the gift shop will permanently house a collection of books that visitors can take, read and replenish, as long as they log them on bookcrossing.com of course!



I spoke to Jess Best, one of the organisers of CardiffRead, about the new initiative, as well as what Cardiff Read does and how to get involved. Sorry for the background noise - there is never a quite corner in Chapter (which is clearly a good thing as it's a sign of a thriving community centre)!



I then spoke to Claire Vaughan who works at Chapter about what inspired her to bring Bookcrossing to Cardiff.



So why not head to Chapter for a free book - who knows what you might find?
