Welcome to the new site!

People ask me everyday, 'Bookstart Bear, where is the best place to read?' and everytime I answer, I think of hundreds of different places. So I decided the best way to decide is to travel around the country, visit lots of different libraries and sites, talk to different people and find out where is the best place to read in Britain.

I'll be travelling around the country so be sure to look out for me at your local library. Look for the postcards I'll be sending in with all my findings. I look forward to meeting you all soon. In the meantime, leave us a comment and tell us your favourite thing about the website, and be sure to vote in our poll of the best place to read!
