- Reading Agency
- We’re an independent charity which inspires more people to read more.
Why? Because we believe that reading can transform people’s lives. The more you read, the more you know. The more you read, the more you imagine. The more you read, the better you understand other people, and the better you connect to them.
We’ve got ideas and the energy to make great things happen. We’ll work with anybody who wants to get more people reading more. Much of our work is with public libraries, but we also team up with prisons, publishers, unions, businesses, broadcasters, and others.
