Litfest

Pop into the NICE Bar at The Storey from this week and you may notice a new feature. Tucked away on a side wall amongst the comfy sofas and chairs is a small shelf of books. It’s a new bookcrossing point started by Litfest to share the joy of some old reads with you lovely readers!

If you are not familiar with the concept of Bookcrossing points, I shall explain. Bookcrossing has spread the globe as a somewhat unique way of recycling your books, in a social way. Bookcrossers give new life to old books. Read your book, then register it on the bookcrossing website, leave it in a designated bookcrossing point or just on a park bench, then track it’s adventure across the world.

Litfest have started a Bookcrossing point in the NICE Bar at The Storey. It’s a place to relax with a coffee or beer and browse works by a new author or two, take the book away, enjoy, log the experience on the bookcrossing website, then return it to the litfest bookcrossing point or to any other one – there are several across Lancaster alone, and start again.
