On Swiss Reading Day, reading takes center stage. In schools, libraries, and many other places, people read together to promote the joy of language and to make reading an unifying experience.
The Swiss Reading Day is a nationwide initiative that focuses on shared reading. Every year, schools, libraries, families, businesses, and cultural creators participate to highlight the importance of reading aloud. The goal is to inspire children, adolescents, and adults with stories and to promote the joy of reading.
On Reading Day, numerous readings and activities take place across Switzerland – in schools, libraries, bookstores, kindergartens, and public spaces. Well-known personalities, authors, and committed readers come together to make a statement for language promotion, education, and cultural exchange.
The Swiss Reading Day makes it clear how important reading is for personal development, learning, and social interaction. Through shared reading, closeness, imagination, and enthusiasm for language arise – values that extend far beyond the action day.
The Swiss Book Voucher is actively involved in promoting the book trade and literature. Every year, we support numerous events and projects that celebrate the diversity and importance of reading. Here you will find a selection of our support projects that help to keep the world of books alive and spread the joy of reading.
