What and when is Somerset Storyfest’s Giving Day?

Giving day is a 12-hour online fundraising campaign where we will be asking our community to join with us to raise much needed funding to continue our mission to connect children with books and authors. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to fall in love with reading. Your donation will help us take authors and books into schools for disadvantaged children, ultimately making books accessible for everyone.
