Camden Reading Together 2025 to 2030
Camden Reading Together 2025 to 2030
Camden Reading Together is our first borough-wide strategy dedicated to reading for pleasure. Developed in partnership with The Reading Agency and shaped by local voices, it sets out a shared vision to make Camden a place where everyone can develop a lifelong love of reading.
From babies to older adults, we’re working with council services, schools, libraries, cultural institutions, community groups and families to break down barriers and make reading a joyful, everyday part of life. Over the next five years, we’ll expand inclusive reading spaces, celebrate the joy of books in all formats, and champion reading as a powerful tool for learning, wellbeing and connection.
Our focus
- celebrating the joy of reading and supporting lifelong learning
- embedding reading across council services and community spaces
- improving access to reading and language development for all
- promoting reading to support better health and wellbeing
- building skills and pathways into meaningful employment
- strengthening community connections through shared reading activities
