Inspire's annual book award, InspiREAD, is back!


InspiREAD is for everyone; not just kids but teachers, parents, grandparents, carers, families, and friends. Our librarians have picked their favourite children's books that have been published within the last year - now it's over to you, to read and vote for your favourites!

As in previous years, there are books for all ages and abilities across three categories: 

  • Picture Books
  • Shorter Books
  • Longer Novels

Find out more about InspiREAD, view the shortlist and vote here.

You can vote in one, two, or all three categories, and the final winners will be announced at the Inspire Awards Celebration Evening on Thursday 29 June. Get ready to be inspired and start reading!

These books will be available from all Inspire Libraries and teachers can use the Education Library Service to reserve copies for schools. Shortlisted books will also be available to purchase online or in person from The Bookcase at Lowdham.
