BOYS will be encouraged to pick up a book with a 'lads 'n dads' event at Oxford Rugby Club today.

The event will be hosted by Oxford Children's Book Group and there will be a range of non fiction books to read as well as to swap as part of non fiction month.

There will also be a competition to win books as part of the activities from 10am to 2pm.

Boys and girls of all ages are welcome to the club in North Hinksey village.
