World Book Day
World Book Day changes lives through a love of books and reading. We are a charity that operates in the UK and Ireland. We will next be celebrating World Book Day on 6 March 2025.
Our Vision
More children, from all backgrounds, developing a life-long habit of reading for pleasure, benefiting from the improved life chances this brings them.
Our Mission
To promote reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own
Our Impact In 2024
World Book Day encourages more children and families to find the fun and enjoyment in reading, because reading for pleasure changes lives.
Read our Impact Report to see how World Book Day’s 2024 campaign made a difference. 25% of pupils receiving Free School Meals said the £1 book they ‘bought’ with their £1 token was the first book of their own.
