The Guinness world record for multilingual reading aloud (most languages used in a reading relay) was beaten on Sunday, February 26, at the Bib Sophia library in Schaerbeek, next to Brussels. Students and parents from local schools read an excerpt from the book Magical Life of Mr. Renny by children’s author Leo Timmers in 65 different languages, beating the previous world record set at 50 languages by the Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar.
