It was a joy to have a legitimate reason to read out loud, share the experience and have time to reflect.

Sha (Volunteer Reading Champion 2010)

City Reads is a dynamic, exciting and original way to encourage enjoyment of books and reading – it’s been great to be involved! Thanks for setting it up and long may it continue.

Sarah  (Volunteer Reading Champion 2010)

I think City Reads is an amazing project. People from all walks of life are brought together through a common love of books and reading.

Adele (Volunteer 2010)

‘Had a fabulous time on Saturday distributing my 10 books as one of the volunteers. I love doing it… just wanted to be a fly on the wall to see the faces of the people finding them!’

Debbie (City Reads volunteer 2009)

City Reads is a not-for-profit arts organisation. It wouldn’t work without the hard work and commitment of our dedicated team of  volunteers.

Every year, volunteers make a huge difference to City Reads by:

• Helping distribute City Reads marketing
• Helping distribute and disseminate City Reads books through the ever popular book crossing scheme.
• Helping evaluate the success of City Reads to help achieve further funding
