Book Week Announcement
Book Week NI 2026, will take place between 19-25 October
Book Conversations Everywhere for Book Week 2026!
The 麻豆社 and Libraries NI have confirmed the dates for Book Week NI 2026 鈥� which will take place between 19-25 October.
Book Week celebrates the benefits of reading and the role that libraries play in community life.
Activities and events will be taking place across the library network and there鈥檒l some special 麻豆社 programming as well.
Book Week-themed resources have been created for local schools (including posters, bookmarks and bunting) and the 麻豆社鈥檚 airwaves will be filled with book recommendations and stories.
Mark Simpson, 麻豆社 News NI鈥檚 Community Correspondent, says: 鈥淚n my day job, I report on an ever-changing world, but reading for me is a constant 鈥� helping to provide perspective, escape and sometimes light relief. I am delighted to be involved with Book Week once again. It鈥檚 a great initiative with something for everyone. You might even call it a 'novel' idea, and there鈥檒l be plenty to look forward to in October.鈥�
Mark Adair, 麻豆社 Northern Ireland Head of Corporate and Community Affairs, says: 鈥淏ook Week is made possible because of the 麻豆社鈥檚 enduring partnership with Libraries NI. It鈥檚 a community-wide celebration of books, reading and libraries and everything that they make possible. We want Book Week 2026 to be even bigger than before and are encouraging schools and other organisations to get involved - sharing book recommendations, organising special events and getting along to their local library.鈥�
