Chatterbooks
Eight years ago with Orange we started the first ever nationally co-ordinated reading group project for children. Chatterbooks encourages children aged between four and twelve to read adventurously, become confident about talking about books and visit libraries with their families. And we have won awards for this work.
BBC Partnership
We have a great partnership with BBC Radio 4 and BBC 7 both of which broadcast programmes on books and book related matters. We use the rich resources of these programmes to support reading groups for adults and children run in libraries. And we are using this partnership to bring radio and libraries together to run joint activities. We believe that combining the powers of the written word with the spoken word will lead to some fantastic creative opportunities.

Twenty minutes every day or twenty minutes once or twice a week - it will make a difference.
