Our Chair of Trustees, Sue Kerr, recently gave oral evidence to the Education Committee as part of its Reading for Pleasure inquiry. The session brought together experts and stakeholders to help inform the Committee’s understanding of how reading for pleasure can be supported and strengthened.
This was an important opportunity to ensure the voice of community managed libraries was represented in national policy discussions. The session explored the challenges and opportunities facing reading for pleasure, and the vital role libraries play as accessible, community‑based spaces that support reading, learning and wellbeing.
You will find a few clips from the session below, or you can watch the full recording of both panel discussions here.
