Mark Simpson and Holly Hamilton eavesdrop on some conversations about books, reading and libraries for Book Week 2022.

Well-known people from different walks of life talk about their favourite childhood books and characters and what they’re reading right now – and would recommend to others.

A celebration of reading and its relevance and an insight into how books can shape our sense of the world and its possibilities.
Book Week (17-23 October) is a joint initiative between the BBC and Libraries NI. It involves BBC programmes, features and reports and activities across the library network in Northern Ireland.
