There will 1,000 free books up for grabs in Newcastle this weekend during a huge giveaway event.
In celebration of World Book Day - which takes place on Thursday - Eldon Square will be following up on Saturday with The Big Story Hunt. And families are being invited to join in the fun from 10am and seek out the children's books which will be hidden throughout the centre.
The event, which will run on March 4 until 3pm, sees Eldon Square again team up with the National Literacy Trust on the initiative aimed at getting children excited about reading. It follows the success of its similar partnership in the city last year which saw families hunting throughout the venue in a bid to to track down the giveaways.
