Get London Reading encourages Londoners to make more time for books in their busy days.

The 2008 campaign, managed by Booktrust with support from 3M – a leading supplier of technology systems for libraries worldwide – ran from 24 March to 16 April.

Between these dates, libraries across the capital held author events. The events are now over (see below for what you missed) but we will continue to highlight London's literary events if you send us the details (query@booktrust.org.uk)
