Save the date! The Reader Organisation's fifth annual National Conference will be taking place on Thursday 15th May at the British Library Conference Centre in London.

Examining shared reading in settings including health, criminal justice, community and education and the transformative impacts it has on individuals and the people around them, this year's conference is set to be the most enriching and enlightening yet.
