This Month is “Get Caught Reading” Month!

What do The Rugrats, Spiderman and Keira Knightly have in common?

They are all among the famous faces that have been caught reading their favourite publications for Get Caught Reading Month. In fact, you would be amazed who has been caught reading.

Get Caught Reading Month began in 1999 as a way to remind people of all ages how much fun it is to read for pleasure, whether it is the classics, horror stories, fairy tales or just your favourite magazine or the sports pages.
