Libraries
We are committed to continuing to build our greatly valued partnership with public libraries. Libraries are vital, community anchor organisations and democratic access points for reading.
We work closely with libraries across the UK to deliver our flagship reading programmes like the Summer Reading Challenge. We deliver a range of initiatives, reading tools and resources to reach new and diverse audiences in a library setting and get more people fired up about reading. Our programmes are co-produced with libraries and local communities to understand needs and barriers and ensure reading activities authentically meet local interests and passions.
Offers for libraries and book clubs
We have fantastic opportunities for libraries, schools and book clubs to get free book and display materials from our publisher partners.
