Save the date! On Thursday 12 September 2024 we’ll be celebrating National Reading Group Day.
Here at The Reading Agency, we love reading groups and all the brilliant things they give us; regular connections with others, the opportunity to discover new books and authors, and discussions that can go on long into the night.
We want you to join us in celebrating on 12 September 2024 with your book club:
- Host a book club meeting! It’s the perfect day to get together
- Ask everyone to bring someone new to your meeting to share the fun
- Share the books that you’ve loved over the past year on social media tagging @reading_groups and #NationalReadingGroupDay
- Check out the offers page for upcoming Read & Review offers from our publisher partners and booklists to find your next read
- Libraries can download an activity toolkit with ideas on how to celebrate with your groups
