A month-long festival of reading in May centred on Ayisha Malik’s book Sophia Khan Is Not Obliged, engaging around 150 libraries in 27 London boroughs, Luton and Slough along with live events across London and a 1,000 book giveaway at Westfield Stratford. Partnering with Amal, the festival brought 30,000 people in the city and beyond together to read the book and experience one young Muslim girl’s story of life in London.
