World Book Day is all about inspiring a love of reading for pleasure, because reading truly has the power to change lives. Studies consistently show that enjoying books is one of the strongest indicators of a happier, more confident, and more successful future for children. Yet today, only one in three children says they enjoy reading, highlighting just how important this mission has become.
Young people are far more likely to read when books are seen as fun, engaging, and social. That same sense of enjoyment and imagination is familiar to anyone involved in the world of model railways, where storytelling, creativity, and learning often go hand in hand. Whether it is discovering railway history, exploring technical subjects, or sparking curiosity through themed layouts, reading plays a vital role in nurturing lifelong interests and skills.
The World Book Day charity works year-round to inspire children and young people to see reading in a positive, exciting new way. In 2026, World Book Day will be celebrated on 5th March, offering the perfect opportunity to encourage reading at home, at school, and through hobbies that bring stories to life.
Join us in supporting World Book Day 2026, and help every child experience the life-changing benefits of reading for fun.
