The unveiling of Benjamin Zephaniah’s memorial plaque and the screening of the film of his first memorial event will take place in Newham on World Poetry Day. The event will include the film screening with talks about Benjamin and why his film is being placed in Newham. The plaque consists of brief text about his involvement in Newham as well as a QR code linking to the film. This will enable people in the library to find out more about him and his work in a space of importance to him.
Newham Bookshop starts its 48th year of trading at the start of the National Year of Reading 2026. One of the key aims of the Bookshop is to promote reading and the love of books, and we have been doing this in Newham since 1978. We will continue to work with schools, libraries and many other organisations to bring the pleasure of reading books to everyone.
