Today is Reading Together Day and we are celebrating with a selection of photos showing people doing just that in Sunderland.
So whether you were delving into the latest Harry Potter, listening to a story time session, or tucking in to a good book in the classroom we have got it all.
Take a look through our retro collection and see if these photos bring back happy memories.
