InspiRead 2023 Shortlist

Our Education Library Service librarians shortlisted their favourite books for InspiRead 2023, with the aim to get everyone reading children’s books; pupils, teachers, parents, grandparents, carers, schools, families and friends - it's for anyone who enjoys a good read! Thanks to everyone who voted, and we hope you'll join us again next year.

Don't forget, teachers can borrow books from the Education Library Service or if you're a member of the public, you can visit your local library in Nottinghamshire or beyond!

If you'd like to purchase any of the books,  a local independent bookshop in Lowdham is offering 20% discount on all titles. Visit them online at nottinghambooks.co.uk.
