Reading Agency Challenge

Publicity is well under way for the Reading Agency's Summer Reading Challenge for children, including in Brent.  However, Brent also featured in the launch of a smaller scheme aimed at adults.  In fact we hosted the national launch this year.  Brent was picked because we had more particpants than any other authority in the previous year.  This year, we had 581 residents enroll _ more than we have ever had before.  This makes us the second most successful recruiter in the UK, and the most successful library service.  A key part of this success comes from the links that the Library service has built up with BACES as a result of co-location in Harlesden Library.
