Inspire Community Open 2025: Artists Call Out!
Whether you have taken up art recently or been a creative for many years, if you live in Nottingham…
Our Education Library Service librarians shortlisted their favourite books for InspiRead 2023, with the aim to get everyone reading children’s books; pupils, teachers, parents, grandparents, carers, schools, families and friends - it's for anyone who enjoys a good read! Thanks to everyone who voted, and we hope you'll join us again next year.
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.
