As part of our continuing commitment to building our region as a reading community and improving adult and family literacy, we are currently developing a ‘Reader Engagement, Advocacy and Development Strategy’ ('READS') and we would love to hear your thoughts!
We have developed a short survey and we'd like to hear from as many people in our communities as possible about reading - what they read, why they read and what would help them read!
The survey should only take 3 minutes and your responses will help inform the strategy development process.
