National Book Tokens

url: https://www.nationalbooktokens.com/schools-prize

Help your school #rebuildthelibrary, plus win a £100/€120 National Book Token for yourself!

Five lucky schools from across the UK and Ireland will each win £1,000/€1,000, with one overall winner also receiving £500/€500 to upgrade their library space. Nominate a school to win one of our big prizes and encourage reading for pleasure all year round.

Did you know that
 1 in 5 children don’t have a book at home? In fact, 1 in 7 primary schools have no library space at all - that's more than 750,000 children. And where there is a library space, our friends at the charity Read for Good have found that this is often woefully inadequate, with books that are unappealing and outdated. Children facing poverty, who need these school libraries the most, are most likely to be missing out.

We're giving schools across the UK and Ireland the chance to win
 £1,000/€1,000 in National Book Tokens and a year’s free membership to the School Library Association; PLUS one overall winner will also receive £500/€500 to help them create a fun and welcoming library space for all.

Nominate a school using the form, and if yours is one of the five winning entries, you’ll also win a
 £100/€120 National Book Token to spend in your favourite bookshop! 

Winners will be drawn at random after Wednesday 31
st July and announced in September 2024.
