Celebrate the closing of the National Bookweek with a reading party across the city on Sunday 22nd March, 2026
To celebrate the final day of the National Bookweek, we’re bringing the reading party across the city.
Three locations, one city-wide silent celebration of the joy of reading.
Everyone is welcome to join for one stop, but completing all three makes you an official Rotterdamse Leeskanjer.
For her novel, Whispers of the Past.

Share your love of reading and books with others.
You’ll find all sorts of readers at our gatherings: people who’ve lived here forever, people who arrived last week, people who speak four languages and people who’d prefer not to speak at all. We sit, we read, and somehow that’s enough.
Once a week we put our phones away, open our books, and let the city noise fade into the background for an hour. Our gatherings offer a comforting space to unwind in silence. Just the quiet pleasure of falling into a story while other people do the same.
Our hosts know how to hold a space so you can relax, read and feel part of something cozy, yet quietly radical at the same time. They make sure the room settles into that familiar hush. No big speeches. No fuss. Just you and a good book.
Come for the books, stay for the vibes (including online).
