Shopping centre book swap encourages more people to read this summer

Savvy book lovers are being encouraged to take part in a book swap event being launched by a Bridlington shopping centre this summer.

The Promenades Shopping Centre has developed the initiative to encourage more people in the town to take up reading during the warmer months.

Byron Hird, operations manager at The Promenades, said: “Reading is so important and this is a real community initiative.

“The idea of the book swap is to encourage people to try reading something they wouldn’t usually consider and we are encouraging people to bring in as many books as possible.”

The book swapping initiative will run until September and visitors will find the book shelf next to Argos.
