The National Year of Reading 2026 continues with June’s theme: Locally Grown

This month, we’re celebrating stories with Dorset roots—showcasing authors born here and tales inspired by our local landscapes.
You'll find a fantastic range of Dorset-inspired reads, from classics like Thomas Hardy to contemporary voices, alongside themed displays, recommendations, and opportunities to get creative.

- discover local authors
- explore our curated collections
- get inspired to write your own Dorset story

Visit us this month, pick up a locally inspired read, and share your favourites with us!
Let’s grow a love of reading together in our community!
