WORLD Book Night was celebrated at Cowley International College with music from a live band and books being given away to visitors.

The event provided students with an opportunity to showcase their talents.

Student Nathan Vose invited Star cameraman Ian Park to select any card from the pack.

Wordy-wise trio Mukuna Muralitharan, Lydia Corcoran and Jayne Bird found time to halt for a photograph, as they prepared to sort through some of the work of authors Roald Dahl, Robert Muchamaore and John Boyne.

The Star snapper also captured Charlie Bond, Nathaniel Chesworth and Luke Vose taking a break from playing keyboard, violin and clarinet.
