Across the UK, fewer people are picking up books — but together, we can turn the page.
Passion is the spark that reignites a love of reading.
When stories connect with the things we care about — our hobbies, our fandoms, our local pride — reading becomes exciting again. That’s the spirit behind the National Year of Reading 2026.
Together, we can reconnect our community with everything libraries make possible — imagination, inspiration, connection, and opportunity.
Join us and be part of a nationwide movement to get the UK reading again
