🌟 Celebrating International Literacy Day 2026 🌟

On 8th September, we join UNESCO in celebrating International Literacy Day and its 60th anniversary.

Literacy opens doors to knowledge, confidence, opportunity and connection. This year's theme, "Literacy for people, the planet and prosperity", reminds us of the importance of ensuring everyone has access to the skills they need to participate fully in society.

Libraries play a key role in supporting literacy at every age, from sharing stories with young children to helping adults develop new skills. Pop into Oundle Library to find out more

To celebrate, Oundle Library will have a drop-in bookmark making activity all day. Come in and craft yourself a bookmark for your next read 😊
