Tottenham Literature Festival 2022: Tottenham Big Read
We are delighted to present Tottenham’s First Ever Big Read, in partnership with The Reading Agency. For the first time at Tottenham Literature Festival we are giving away 1,000 books, free to the local community.
Our inaugural Tottenham Big Read author is award winning poet, broadcaster and #TLF22 speaker and Lemn Sissay OBE. Children can pick up a copy of Lemn Sissay’s Don’t Ask the Dragon and older readers/adults can get the abridged version of My Name Is Why. Copies will be available at BGAC during the festival week and in participating libraries.
As part of Lemn Sissay’s event at #TLF22 Family Day on Sunday 20 November, children will have the opportunity to read along Don’t Ask The Dragon with the author and have their free copies signed!
In January 2023, we will be partnering with a local library to host a reading group for adults to discuss My Name Is Why. More details to follow soon.
Proudly delivered in partnership with The Reading Agency and supported by Arts Council England.
