The aim of this article is to systematize materials published in professional library journals devoted to book and reading promotion in Russian libraries from 2022 to the first half of 2025. The study employs the method of secondary analysis of data from the information resource Reviews of Publications on Reading Issues, created by specialists of the Reading Centre of the National Library of Russia. The identified materials are categorized according to key trends in library activities aimed at supporting reading. The article highlights the most significant theoretical, analytical, and methodological publications devoted to the promotion of books and reading and identifies the most common forms of library work and event topics. Based on the analysis, the most effective directions of activity, from the perspective of library specialists, are identified. The article also raises the question of the need to develop criteria for assessing the effectiveness of libraries’ activities in promoting reading. The novelty of the study lies in identifying the main trends in reading-support activities as an indirect indicator of librarians’ perceptions of the effectiveness of work in this area. The practical significance of the article lies in identifying the most promising areas of cultural and leisure activities related to reading promotion
