More about the Books About Town Book Bench Trail July-September 2014: The event organised by the National Literacy Trust in collaboration with Wild in Art has created trails of benches around specific areas of London: Bloomsbury, the City, Greenwich, and Riverside. The Benches, shaped as open books, decorated by professional illustrators and local artists, can be found all over town and are there for the public to enjoy. It is a unique opportunity to explore the capital’s literary connections, to enjoy art from some of the country’s top artists and to celebrate reading for enjoyment. At the end of summer 2014, all the benches will be auctioned at an exclusive event in the Southbank Centre to raise funds for the National Literacy Trust”s vital work to raise literacy levels in the UK.
