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 #ReadingHour at 7-8pm on 23 April! Share what you’re reading on social media using #ReadingHour and #WorldBookNight to join the online celebration

2. Sign up to the Road to Reading and pledge to read for 30 minutes every week to create positive reading habits. Bring a friend along to travel the road together!

3. Share books with someone else. Talk to friends about the books you would recommend, lend books to each other or gift them. Buy a book from Hive or Bookshop.org to support The Reading Agency and independent bookshops at no additional cost to you

4. Hold a party, quiz night or reading group to bring your friends together and celebrate reading. Find out more about starting a reading group on Reading Groups for Everyone.

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