The Book Discussion Scheme (BDS) is launching the first-ever Book Night on Tuesday 24 May. The event has been set up to motivate people throughout New Zealand to spend part of their evening reading.
Individuals, families and groups can take part by reading a book, magazine, comic or an e-book for at least 15 minutes any time during the evening of 24 May.
The idea behind the event, which the BDS hopes to run annually, is to connect readers around the country and highlight the benefits of regular reading.
Readers who take part in the event can email a message and (optional) photograph or ‘selfie’ to the BDS website.
Online registration automatically enters them into a prize draw for book vouchers to the value of $150, sponsored by business solutions software company Chreos. Second prize is a $75 book voucher from Christchurch-based printing company Printmax
Details of the event can be found on the Book Discussion Scheme website www.bds.org.nz.
We at MSS thought this would be a great event to support and we encourage all students and their families to get involved. You'll need to register your participation on Tuesday night to be in the prize draw.
