Nationwide Reading Day 2025 in the Castle of Books

The Nationwide Reading Day is an initiative of the Reading Foundation, the weekly newspaper DIE ZEIT and the Deutsche Bahn Foundation. It is the largest reading aloud festival in Germany. The International Youth Library Foundation has been taking part for many years and each time invites a prominent personality from politics, society or culture to read aloud.

The name of this year's celebrity reader will be published here in the course of the summer. Interested schools can already register now via empfang@ijb.de.
