Books and reading

The Winter Mini Challenge is back! This online challenge invites children, aged 4 - 11 to read three books or more, to earn digital rewards.

From weekly story and rhyme sessions to Boromi Pop-in Play libraries, there's lots for babies and toddlers.

Bookstart aims to provide free reading packs for all babies and support reading and literacy for pre-school children.

Discover a whole new world of fiction writers based on your favourite authors using ‘Who Else Writes Like’ (for adult fiction) and ‘Who Next’ (for children’s authors).

Discover our recommended reads for adults, carefully selected to include something for everyone.

Explore our handpicked reads for children.
