Read this Information Profressional article on the part libraries will play in the National Year of Reading in 2026 as the sector works to put its weight behind the campaign. #NYOR www.cilip.org.uk/news/707965/...
What part will libraries play in the National Year of Reading?
With 2026 now set to be the National Year of Reading, we ask librarians what they think this campaign might do for the sector and what the sector can do for the campaign.
