Book Week NI 2025: Celebrating 10 years of reading together!

Book Week NI returns from Monday 20th October to Sunday 26th October 2025.  This year is extra special as it is their 10 year anniversary. 

We know how powerful reading can be. It is more than a pastime – it’s a way to relax, connect, learn, and thrive. Whether you’re enjoying a story with your children, switching off from screens, or sparking conversation with colleagues, reading offers countless benefits:

• A Workout for the Brain: Improves memory and cognitive skills
• A Stress Buster: Reading helps you relax and unwind
• A Role Model: Demonstrates to children the value of books
• A Focus Booster: Strengthens concentration and attention span
• A Literacy Lift: Expands vocabulary and language skills
• A Sleep Enhancer: A bedtime read is the perfect wind-down routine

Book Week NI is a movement that’s been encouraging reading for ten years. 

The full programme of anniversary events will be announced soon. Keep an eye on Libraries NI’s social media channels and website librariesni.org.uk for updates.
