One of the ways you and your child can grow a love of reading at home is by choosing books that appeal to you - and we've set up book swap spots to make it even easier to access exciting and interesting things to read.
Our latest research shows that young people are more motivated to read when:
- They can choose what they read
- The content reflects their interests
- It feels connected to their everyday lives.
These spots, located in community centres, gardens and even a city farm bring books into spaces that may feel more personal and welcoming than the classroom. They're well-stocked with books that can reflect your child’s identity and spark curiosity in new ways.
Below you can find an interactive map of book swap spot locations. Click the play button to move the map around, and select a pin to find the exact location of each bookshelf.
Finished a book at home? Bring it along for another family to enjoy, helping us share stories across Nottingham.
