Bookworms will be crawling out from behind the shelves on Thursday 14 March to celebrate World Book Day 2002. The annual event, which is held across the UK and Ireland, encourages children and adults to enjoy a fun-filled day of literary activities in nurseries, schools, libraries and bookshops. Children at Rainbow Nursery in Birstall, Leicester, for example, will spend the day learning about different types of books while staff at St Marychurch Primary and Nursery School in Torquay, Devon, will be telling stories from around the world.
