Radio host Nikita Robinson is inviting members of the public to read at a nursery, preschool or primary school to help celebrate World Book Day 2019.

Ms Robinson, of Hott 107.5’s show The Ladies Room, said that World Book Day is her favourite day of the year as “the love of literacy is spread from one end of the island to the other”.

A total of 1,344 books will be delivered to 39 preschools and nurseries throughout the island in celebration of the day which takes place next Thursday.

In addition, 18 public primary school reading classes and public middle and high school libraries will be receiving books.

This year the Bermuda Education Network gave its support by collecting specific book requests from each of the public primary schools. The book lists are posted at Brown & Co.

Three preschools are available for sponsorship or 130 books to be purchased. Sixteen public primary school reading classes are available for sponsorship.

Book donations or gift cards can be purchased for public middle and high school libraries.

To donate, visit or call Brown & Co at 279-5443 to purchase your favourite books to deposit in the book bin for the school of your choice.

Anyone interested in purchasing books and contact Brown & Co 279-5443.

Those wishing to read should e-mail Ms Robinson on: nikita@hott1075bermuda.com or call the school nearest you to participate.
