Book Week Scotland is an annual celebration of books and reading. It will next take place across Scotland in 2026.

We mark Book Week Scotland with displays, events and giveaways in the Library.

Book Week Scotland 2025

Every year, to celebrate Book Week Scotland, Scottish Book Trust produces a free book, made up of true stories from people all over Scotland. The theme for 2025 was friendship.

Tell us your stories

This year, we gathered stories of friendships made at Strathclyde on an online Padlet and on our tree in the main entrance area of the Library. 

Relax with your friends

While in the Library you could try visiting the Nook with your pals. The Nook is a calm area where you can enjoy some screen-free time crafting, reading, or playing board games. We have jigsaw puzzles, quizzes, chess, Monopoly and more.

Reading for Pleasure reading lists

Each year we compile a special reading list to suit the latest Book Week Scotland theme. Find our Book Week Scotland reading lists on our Reading for Pleasure page.
