Belfast is a UNESCO Learning City and we're inviting you to take part in a fun Book Bingo Challenge as part of our collaboration with the National Year of Reading 2026 and Libraries NI.
How it Works
Using the Book Bingo card shown choose any squares that spark your interest and start reading (or listening)! You can also pick up a physical book bingo card from reception at City Hall.
There's no pressure to complete the whole card, every book counts (including audiobooks).
Share what you have read
Once you have finished a book, or if you have a good idea for a book under a particular prompt, we'd love you to share your recommendation with others through our ideas poll. This is a great way to
Discover what others are reading
Build a Belfast 'recommended reads' list
Inspire someone else's next book choice
Celebrate reading and lifelong learning across our city
How the voting tool works
The poll allows individuals to both submit recommendations and vote on others:
Add the title and author of a book you'd recommend
Include a brief note on why you would recommend it (or the prompt it aligns with)
Browse suggestions from others
Return any time to see new recommendations
Why take part
Reading for pleasure is linked to improving wellbeing, creativity, focus and lifelong learning and this challenge is a simple way to make space for reading in our busy lives. Whether you prefer novels, memoirs, audiobooks, poetry or non-fiction, there's something on the card to inspire everyone.
