Join Booktober

1 Oct 2025

Want to read more but don’t know where to start?

Can’t find the time for some me-time?

Need an autumn challenge to focus on?

If you’re finding it hard to take time out to relax, or if you’d love to read more but never seem to have long enough to lose yourself in a good book, the Booktober challenge is a great way to start.
The challenge is to read one book a week during October. This special collection of short books by well-known authors offers the perfect way to delve into a book – even if you only have a few minutes a day.
Here’s the best part: you don’t need to buy the books — your local library stocks the Booktober reading list!
Whether you’re just starting or already halfway through, pop into your local library and pick up a Quick Read today.
Let’s make time to read this autumn. 🍁📖
