Wild Reads 2023

Wild Reads is a partnership project between Suffolk Libraries to celebrate the natural world and the written word.

Together with Suffolk Libraries, we hope to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy the very best nature writing, and to inspire a love of nature though from the perspectives of a wide range of writers.

You can share your views about the Wild Reads books by tagging @SuffolkLibrary and @SuffolkWildlife on social media and using the hashtag #WildReads.
