The Big Sporting Read

The Big Sporting Read is a collaboration between national charity The Reading Agency and BBC Arts, aiming to use the power of sport to inspire readers across the UK.

It's a landmark summer of sport including the European Championships, Wimbledon, and the Olympics and Paralympics in Paris - so there's plenty to cheer for!

The Big Sporting Read list was created by an independent panel of librarians and booksellers. It showcases a rich mix of fiction and non-fiction aimed at adults, with authors including Jessica Ennis-Hill, Tom Daley, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and Haruki Murakami.

The full list of titles is below - click to reserve on the Library website. We hope you enjoy reading during this sporting summer!
