National Year of Reading 2026

Everyone knows the benefits of reading: it expands your world, sharpens your mind. It might even make you more creative or successful. But increasingly, fewer of us are making time to read.

We will be working with partners to celebrate the National Year of Reading 2026. Reading can help you relax, connect with others and discover more about the things you love. 

This page will contain information about National Year of Reading events, activities, and volunteering opportunities.
