Your school needs you!
Whether you work in a school or have school-aged children yourself, you’ll know the importance of a good school library – and not just for learning. Studies show that reading for pleasure doesn’t just give children an advantage academically; it can improve their wellbeing too.
Our annual competition gives you the chance to nominate a school to win our massive £5,000/€5,000 National Book Tokens prize to refresh their library for generations of children to come. The winning entrant also takes home £100/€120 of National Book Tokens just for them.
The competition is now closed, and the winner will be announced at the start of the new school year in September, so keep an eye on our emails, Facebook and Twitter! Read the full terms and conditions.
About National Book Tokens
National Book Tokens have been inspiring booklovers since 1932. We work with our charity partners at World Book Day, Book Aid International and Read for Good – and through the thousands of people who give National Book Tokens as gifts and rewards to children and young adults each year – to encourage a lifelong love of reading among children everywhere.
Accepted in thousands of bookshops, online and on eBooks, National Book Tokens are the perfect way to reward and inspire.
