The BBC Director-General, Tony Hall has announced Get Reading - a campaign for 2016 that will celebrate great authors and their works and get the nation reading and sharing the books they love.
The campaign includes a Get Reading Weekend, a digital and social media campaign from BBC Learning and specially-commissioned programmes across BBC TV, Radio and online.
Get Reading will work with key reading partners throughout 2016, including the Reading Agency, BookTrust, the National Literacy Trust, the Society Of Chief Librarians and the Scottish Library and Information Council.
The campaign kicks off in the spring with the BBC Shakespeare Festival 2016 – marking 400 years since the death of the Bard and celebrating his genius.
Other highlights include:
- A children’s books season featuring the life and work of Roald Dahl
- The Book that Inspired Me, a campaign to get the nation talking about and sharing books
- A “Get Reading Weekend” in November which will aim to inspire the nation to read something new
