We have held nine Big City Reads in York since 2008. Each one has been very different and each one has celebrated the joy of reading.
The COVID-19 pandemic interrupted our plans for 2020 and 2021, but we are on course for a wonderful celebration of York, its people and an illustrious daughter of the city in 2022.
