World Book Night: Reading Hour

World Book Night: Reading Hour at Rugby Library

Join us at Rugby Library as we celebrate the National Year of Reading 2026 by taking part in the nationwide #ReadingHour! For one dedicated hour between 7–8pm, we’ll be creating a calm, cosy space where you can simply settle in and enjoy your own book — just like a silent book club. There will be time either side of the reading hour to help yourself to a refreshment and sweet treat and meet your fellow book lovers.

Bring whatever you’re currently reading: a novel, a graphic novel, non‑fiction, an audiobook with headphones, or anything you love. It’s your time to read your way. If you’re looking for something new, you’re welcome to browse the shelves and take out books from the library too.

Every attendee will receive a free copy of Rosie Goodwin’s new Quick Reads title, Sweet Charity.

This event is in partnership with our Warm Welcome scheme.

This event is great for:

• Connecting with others who enjoy reading
• Escaping into stories and switching off from daily pressures
• Relaxing in a calm reading environment
• Improving wellbeing through mindful time with a book
• Discovering what our libraries offer

Time: 6:30pm – 8:30pm (doors open at 6:30pm)

Date: Thursday 23rd April 2026

Age: Adult (16+)

Booking: Booking essential

Refreshments: Free hot drinks and sweet treats

(Gluten free and vegan options will be available)
