The Reading Wall is hanging in The Nook just inside the doors at the State Library. It’s there to celebrate the Love2Read Cafe and the National Year of Reading until 9 December.
You’re invited to share part of your favourite poem (or you can add it as a comment to this post.) Enjoy reading others peoples favourites…Jabberwocky seems to be a stand-out so far.
This lovely short animation just won an Oscar and is so relevant to this National Year of Reading: what a wonderful homage to booklovers and readers everywhere.

So the theme this month for the national year of reading is ‘Laugh’. Any books / signs or stuff you have read that has made you laugh out loud??
Driving to work today I saw an old sign for flowers but it had Day and Flowers hidden so it looked like Mothers For Sale…made me laugh. Author of some chortle inducing scenes – Nick Earls, in both Perfect Skin and Bachelor Kisses.
Here at the State Library of WA we’ve started a Reading Wall in the Nook area near the south entrance of the Library. People can write a label to share their favourite quote from a book as part of the National Year of Reading 2012.
But what if you’d like to share online? Add a comment to this post and share your favourite quote from a book! (We’ll keep posting to encourage and you can click on the Reading Wall category to check on all the posts.)
