Seven Stories: Children’s Book Center
The UK takes children’s reading seriously. So seriously, they invested 6.5 million GBP to build Seven Stories, a new center for children’s books. It’s not the first large UK project promoting literacy. Last month, they announced the Bookstart project promising to give free books to children between one and four years old.
Seven Stories sounds like a wonderful place.
Seven Stories is both an archive of manuscripts and illustrations and a tool to encourage children to explore creativity, to read and to imagine.
On the seven floors are a bookshop, cafe, a basement engine room for hands-on activities, an attic where writers and artists will discuss their work, and galleries where the first exhibition, Incredible Journeys, features some of the best-loved books of the last 70 years.
