Libraries NI has a programme of events including conversations with well-known local authors Wendy Erskine, Glenn Patterson and Elly Griffiths amongst others.
Dr Jim O’Hagan, chief executive at Libraries NI, said there is something for everyone in Book Week.
“Everyone can take part – children, families, teenagers, students, retired people, those working from home and the list goes on,” he said.
“Taking time to read – even 15 minutes – can start a new chapter.”
A list of events taking place can be found online at the website bbc.co.uk/bookweekni with more details about times and venues.
It also offers downloadable resources for children and young people, including posters and bookmarks.
