The Derby Book Festival is excited to launch its biannual campaign to collect donations of children’s books!

These wonderful books will be gifted to children in our city who may not have access to books at home.

This heart warming initiative takes place during our Summer Festival and Autumn Edition at various venues throughout the city. Join us in spreading the joy of reading!

If you would like to donate books then please see the table below for the location and times available to donate.
