LoveReading exists because reading matters, and books change lives.
It’s well-documented that reading for pleasure, and improving reading standards, has a huge impact on children’s wellbeing, academic achievements, and future success.
But the sad truth is, cuts to school funding means many children don’t have access to well-stocked libraries. Many don’t get to experience the magic of reading that may well have made you a reader for life.
As a result, LoveReading has created a way to redress that shortfall; an easy way for you to share the magic of reading through supporting a school in your local community – simply buy books through our bookstore, a platform with social purpose.
Listen to this podcast with LoveReading MD Deborah Maclaren in conversation with Tom Holgate of the Independent Publishers Guild. They talk about the challenges of funding in schools, our bookstore with social purpose, the power of reading for pleasure and the importance of reading recommendations.
See LoveReading MD Deborah Maclaren in conversation with The UKLA Trustee Joy Court in our LoveReading LitFest event discussing the bookstore with a social purpose, and the impact these initiatives could have for our schools.
Sounds like a win-win situation - you get great books, and a school in your community gets funds to create well-stocked libraries and classrooms that’ll serve generations of children.
Like we said at the start, reading matters and books change lives, and buying books through LoveReading and LoveReading4Kids will ensure that continues to happen for children in your community.
We help get more books in schools. Thank you for shopping with us, and helping make this happen.
