Book Week isn’t just for schools
It’s for everyone who believes in the power of stories!
Book Week is often associated with classrooms, but its purpose is much broader. It’s a celebration of stories, imagination, and the role reading plays in helping us learn and connect, no matter our age.
In workplaces, it’s also a simple opportunity to step out of the day-to-day and bring a bit of creativity, conversation, and curiosity into the environment.
A simple way for workplaces to take part
The Library Boost Project gives workplaces an easy, meaningful way to get involved in Book Week.
It’s designed to be flexible and quick to run, whether you’re in a corporate office, small business, or community organisation. Teams can take part in a short activity that celebrates reading while directly supporting school libraries in disadvantaged communities.
Why it matters
Many school libraries are operating on very limited budgets, with some unable to regularly refresh their collections.
When new books are introduced, the impact is immediate, students read more, engage more, and begin to see reading as something enjoyable and shared.
Book Week is already a moment where attention turns to reading. The Library Boost Project helps extend that impact beyond the workplace and into schools that need it most.
Need Ideas?
Host a morning tea, second-hand book swap or a BBQ for your team. You can go silly with crazy hair or run a dress up competition in the office.
Get involved
This Book Week, workplaces are invited to take part in The Library Boost Project, celebrate reading with your team, and help put brand-new books into the hands of students who need them most.
