Join The Reading Agency and Matt Haig for The Midnight Library Big Book Club event
Be transported to the Midnight Library from the comfort of your own home as The Reading Agency invites libraries and reading groups across the country to its Big Book Club event with bestselling author Matt Haig.
Matt joins us, aptly, during Libraries Week to read from his new book, The Midnight Library. He will then speak to The Reading Agency’s co-founder and creative director, Debbie Hicks about the book and why we should protect our libraries at all costs. We will also be asking Matt questions submitted by you, the readers, with the chance to win a bundle of Matt Haig titles!
The Reading Agency tackles life’s big challenges through the proven power of reading. This year we have seen libraries play a vital role during lockdown to support the nation to get reading, providing comfort, companionship, and escapism in challenging times, much like in The Midnight Library.
