Squeeze in a read!

https://www.irelandreads.ie/

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A new national day to celebrate reading.

On Thursday 25 February we're inviting people of all ages to get reading.

Why? Because taking some time for yourself to relax and do the things you enjoy (like reading) is important to help look after your mental wellbeing.

Ireland Reads is a public libraries initiative, in partnership with publishers, booksellers, authors and others under the Government's 'Keep Well' campaign.

Pledge today to squeeze in a read on Thursday 25 February.

Just let us know how many hours or minutes you would like to pledge to read for below.

Ireland has pledged to read for 935,328 minutes on Thursday 25 February.

Please select a valid form

Ireland has pledged to read for 935,328 minutes on Thursday 25 February.

Libraries Ireland would like to thank our incredible partners and ambassadors who are helping to get Ireland reading for Ireland Reads.

Spread the joy of reading and encourage others to get lost in a book with posters and other resources to promote your event here.

Create a fun learning game in minutes - we call these 'kahoots'. The format and number of questions is up to you. Add videos, images and diagrams to your questions to amplify engagement.

How to create a kahoot on your computer
How to create a kahoot in the app

Kahoots are best played in a group setting. To join a game, you need a unique PIN. If you're the game host, you need a big screen. Players answer on their own devices, while questions are displayed on a shared screen. In addition to live games, you can also send kahoot challenges that players complete at their own pace - for example, for homework or remote training.
How to play a live kahoot
After a game, encourage players to create and share their own kahoots! With one of our premium plans for schools or business, you can co-create games with your colleagues and save time on finding relevant kahoots for your class or training session.
