"Reading makes me think about the world that's been ... makes me think about the world that is ... and makes me think about the world that could be."
Contact us to request your special ambassador poster and help us promote The Reading Hour in 2014. We love this reflective video message about reading by our ambassador William McInnes...
The Reading Hour is enriched by the support of many wonderful ambassadors and friends who are doing amazing things in the reading and literacy fields and who believe in the importance of reading.
We are delighted to announce that our friend and much-loved Australian actor and author, William McInnes—who is also a champion of books—is our National Ambassador for The Reading Hour in 2014!
A fantastic chat between Cheryl Akle and Evie Wyld, the 2014 Miles Franklin Literary Award winner on the Book Circle. Thanks to Random House Books AU.

Watch the Friends of Love2Read talk about their passion for reading and writing on Love2ReadTV!
This Love2ReadTV special episode features librarians all across the nation, from Albany in WA to Shellharbour in NSW and Darwin in the NT to Moreland in VIC. It celebrates the wonderful nature of libraries and the librarians which make them lively hubs.
Put Tuesday 19 August 6-7pm in your diaries and stay tuned for updates on events, competitions and how your family, business, school or library can help us celebrate the importance of reading again this year.
The Reading Hour initiative reminds parents and caregivers that reading together doesn’t have to be a massive undertaking in their busy lives, and that sharing a book with a child for 10 minutes a day - or just over an hour a week - will still give that child the best chance of becoming a good reader along with all the social and educational benefits it brings.
