Benches Encourage Reading
Fifty “book benches” are illustrating the joys of reading on the streets of London this summer. Each book-shaped bench is covered with a colorful picture. The benches are part of the National Literacy Trust’s Books about Town campaign to celebrate books and reading. Benches feature Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, Mary Poppins, the works of Dr Seuss, and many others. This fall, the benches will be auctioned off to raise funds for the NLT. It’s an impractical wish, but wouldn’t it be great to have one of them?
