Locality Conference – Enterprising Community Libraries
Miranda McKearney OBE, [email protected]
5 March 2013
Give everyone an equal chance in life, by helping people become enthusiastic readers
5 million adults have poor literacy skills.
Half the prison population has low literacy levels
as do 70% of young people excluded from school.
Only 40 % of our young people enjoy reading.
"This is my first time I've done this challenge, I
used to hate books but now I love them.
THANK YOU!!!”
Beryl, 9, Solihull
“I am somebody now. All my life, since I was
young, people have told me I was thick, but I
knew deep down that I wasn’t and now the Six
Book Challenge had bought that out, and
proved what I can do.”

I’ve learnt so many skills and I’m much
better at reading, and more confident all
round”
