We are delighted to be celebrating the Heritage Foundation’s pledge to join the National Literacy Trust Year of Reading in Letchworth. As a community, we share a passion for stories - whether told through traditional books, graphic novels, beautifully illustrated editions, audiobooks, or any format that sparks curiosity and imagination.
This year, our goal is to bring people together through reading and to help residents feel more confident exploring books in whatever way suits them best, sharing resources and engaging in community events.
Pick of the month
As part of our commitment to bringing the community together, we're curating monthly themed reading lists that correspond to local events and seasonal celebrations. Take a look at our current picks, browse past months, and see what's coming soon - we'd love you to get involved with recommendations!
