Reading Tips for World Book Day

For everybody working at NORLA, sparking the joy of reading is a true privilege. And today we are happy to celebrate World Book Day by recommending books from our Selected Spring Titles.
You will find more information on all the spring titles here, and quite a few also include sample translations in English.
