Chichester MP Gillian Keegan MP said: "It is a pleasure to support World Book Day in its 25th year. It is so important that every child and young adult has access to a wide range of books to choose from - my own love of reading began in my childhood, so I am delighted to celebrate World Book Day and I encourage everyone across the Chichester constituency to take part and get reading!"
