National Year of Reading 2026

Go All In. National Year of Reading 2026.

October

This month, as the evenings start to draw in, we are exploring all the wonderful ways to keep cosy and warm. This October, why not check out some cosy reads, experiment with some new recipes in the kitchen or cuddle up with a pet or two. 

Get that imagination working and those fingers warmed up by writing your very own short story to submit to our short story writing competition for ages 16+. 

However you plan to keep warm and cosy this October, there is something for you either in our physical library collection or in our digital collections on BorrowBox and PressReader. Check out some of our catalogue below to find your next read!
