At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
National Bookshop Day is an event celebrated in the United Kingdom.
National Bookshop Day is celebrated by people who are associated with the book trade. It may include publishers, authors, local bookshops, book lovers, and booksellers.
National Bookshop Day was first launched on October 8, 2013.
National Bookshop Day was initiated by the Booksellers Association.
When was the last time you went to a local bookshop? It might have been a long time ago and that's why an event like National Bookshop Day needs to be celebrated. It allows the publishers, bookstore owners, and even the writers to tell their stories through hosting these events. So, let's learn a bit about the things that might have driven such an occasion.
There are no specific traditions or customs attached to this event. But, every year, partners organize the 'Books Are My Bag' campaign to celebrate the day.
If in the UK, talk to local stores about the events they are planning to organize and you can join them. You can also browse the internet to find information about other stores celebrating events. If in another country, try to visit a local bookstore on the day to browse their collection and appreciate the work they are doing to spread literature.
There are several advantages, like promoting bookshops and encouraging people to buy more books from bookshops, as well as recognizing the work of staff present in a shop.
National Bookshop Day was launched by the Booksellers Association to encourage more people to visit physical local bookstores.
Book lovers promote the event in many ways, including posting about it on their social media, encouraging friends and family to visit bookstores, and even generally advocating about the state of bookstores.
Students can learn a lot about how a bookshop is run by celebrating the event and they can become more encouraged to read more books or visit bookshops.
