🎉 Go All In – National Year of Reading 2026
We’re proud to be leading the National Literacy Trust’s National Year of Reading 2026 across the Burnley area with the Go All In campaign.
📚 Go All In
Across 2026, we’ll be bringing communities together through a programme of inspiring events and shared reading moments. We’ll be kicking things off with one of our favourite celebrations of the year…
📖 World Book Day 2026 – Thursday 5 March
We’re so excited to share the World Book Day 2026 £1 books with you. From laugh-out-loud tales to magical mysteries, there’s something for everyone!
World Book Day 2026 will take place on Thursday 5 March 2026. This annual celebration of reading, authors, illustrators, books and the fun of reading is always a highlight, and we’re delighted to launch Go All In with it.
We have a selection of World Book Day books available to distribute for free to local community organisations across Burnley. Made possible with support from the Julia Rausing Trust, Arts Council England, National Year of Reading and World of Books.
