The annual event run by the Children's Book Council of Australia is a time for everyone to celebrate books and to highlight Australian authors and illustrators.
This year's Book Week theme is Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds and libraries across the Redlands hosted reading sessions, sing-a-longs and fun activities.
Mayor Karen Williams said reading was for everyone and you do not need to be an expert.
"It's also never too early to start reading to your children or engaging them with storytelling.
"You don't have to limit yourself to printed books either, as our digital libraries have a wonderful trove of resources for you to download, listen to and cherish," she said.
If book lovers are looking for recommendations, library staff have a list of the shortlisted nominations for the Book of the Year Awards.
"All you need to unlock new worlds is a library card. Becoming a library member is free and you can sign up either in one of our branches or through the Redland City Council Library app," said Cr Williams.
There will be a pop-up library at Wellington Point Reserve on Friday.
