Bookish Society 24-hour Readathon

22/02/2025 - 23/02/2025

2pm - 2pm

The Atrium

Bookish Society are holding a 24-hour readathon to raise money for the National Literacy Trust. We're going to see how many books we can read as a society in 24 hours. There are a couple of ways to donate:

  • Donate £1 and guess the number of pages the whole society will read in 24 hours - whoever guesses the closest number will win a prize!
  • Get your family and friends involved! Ask them to donate a certain amount of money per number of pages you'll read. For example, £2 per 100 pages you read, meaning one 500 page book will make £10!
