Celebrating World Book Day 2026: Dive into a Year of Reading Fun
Every year, readers of all ages look forward to World Book Day, a joyous celebration of books, reading and the incredible power of stories to transport us, inspire us and bring communities together. This year, World Book Day falls on Thursday, 5 March, when children and adults across the UK and Ireland will be celebrating the joy of reading for fun.
World Book Day is about more than just discount books, it’s part of a wider mission to get children reading for pleasure and to give every young person the chance to own a book of their own. Each year, millions of £1 book tokens are distributed so that every child can choose a book to keep and treasure. Studies show that owning books increases children’s enthusiasm for reading, a habit that builds confidence and sparks lifelong learning.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, bookseller or bookworm, World Book Day is the perfect time to celebrate literacy, explore new adventures in print, and share the magic of stories with someone you love.
