Reading Well for Children: curated book collections for Stroud District schools

Over the past three academic years our Children & Young People Development Officer has been working with Gloucestershire Library Service, Read for Good and local schools to put Reading Well and Reading for Pleasure under the spotlight – we have distributed 39 book collections to local primary and secondary schools.

The Reading Well scheme is a national programme powered by the Reading Agency and is normally delivered through local libraries.

For this academic year (24/25) Stroud District Council has purchased five of the children’s book collections to distribute to local primary schools. The children’s collection contains 32 books with a retail price of £240.00
