Individuals

World Book Night is for everyone, whether you read regularly or less often, it is the perfect opportunity to celebrate books and the difference they make to your life. There are so many ways that you can get involved.

An activity toolkit will be available in January 2023 to provide you with ideas.

1. Read a book during the Reading Hour at 7-8pm on 23 April! Share what you’re reading on social media using #ReadingHour and #WorldBookNight to join the online celebration

2. Share books with someone else. This could be by gifting a book on Kindle, buying a National Book Tokens gift card or sending a book from an independent bookshop. You can buy a book from Hive and choose an independent bookshop anywhere in the country to support

3. Hold a virtual party with a literary theme – anyone for a pub quiz?

These are just a few ideas, but take a look at our resources page for more.
