THE first-ever York Readers' Day will take place on Saturday, March 22, at York Theatre Royal.
The event has been organised by City of York Council's library service and the Read-Write-York literature development project.
High profile authors appearing at the event will include Jane Gardam, Tim Lott and York-based crime novelist John Baker.
Book lovers will also be able to enjoy panel discussions, author workshops, reading groups and a reading fair.
David Cooper, literature development officer for City of York Council and co-ordinator of Read-Write-York, said: "It is wonderful that we have managed to attract a panel of such high-profile authors, all of whom have very different styles of work.
"It should be a great day to celebrate books and we are most grateful to everyone at the Theatre Royal for their support with this event."
