10th anniversary of Book Week NI

Motion Text

That this House notes that 20 October to 26 October 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of Book Week NI, being jointly hosted by BBC NI and Libraries NI; further notes that Book Week NI promotes the benefits reading can bring to all ages; congratulates the organisers given the ubiquitous extent of iPhones, texting and messaging; and expresses the hope that schools, community groups and many others will join in the exceptional benefits that reading from real physical books can bring in terms of relaxation and learning for every age group and background.
