Books had never been Mike's thing but thanks to Plymouth Libraries, Reading Ahead and the Summer Reading Challenge, he now regularly reads with his six year-old son Carlton and developed a reading habit of his own.

Joining a reading group was a 'turning point' for Clare Robinson. She went on to found her own group and talked to us recently about what it means to her.

Lecturer Liz Arbós uses Reading Ahead to engage students attending her Saturday pre-Entry eSOL classes at Northampton College with reading for pleasure. She told us recently about the positive impact this has had.
