InspiREAD 2023
Our 2023 InspiREAD Book Award shortlisted authors, resources, interviews and winners
We're always looking to improve your experience. Please Email us your feedback.
InspiREAD began during the first Covid-19 lockdown as a virtual primary book award. It now runs annually during the summer term. It is a great way to help you develop your reading community, encouraging children to read for pleasure, and to include parents, grandparents, carers, teachers, and anyone who enjoys a good read to get involved.
The shortlist is chosen by the ELS librarians and is suitable for all ages. There are three categories:
Our librarians pick their favourite children's books that have been published within the last year - then it's over to you, to read and vote for your favourites.
Readers can vote in one, two or all three categories, and there will be a final winner in each of the categories.
Don't forget, teachers can borrow books from the Education Library Service or if you're a member of the public, you can visit your local library in Nottinghamshire or beyond! If you'd like to purchase any of the books, a local independent bookshop in Lowdham is offering 20% discount on all titles. Visit them online at nottinghambooks.co.uk.
