Book Club Day UK 2026 - Communications Toolkit

Book Club Day UK (11 September 2026) will be a day celebrating the joy, connection and impact of shared reading, while supporting more people to start or join book clubs in their communities.

For 2026, we are inviting people to be a reading rebel and join a book club, make their book clubs more visible or invite someone new to join their club in September.

The messages are get your books out, find your people and build stronger communities. The day is a chance to bring people together to enjoy the power of reading and book talk, us our Book Club Hub to apply for book club sets to read and review, discover resources and welcome new readers into their circle.
