Edinburgh Reading Champion Project
"This is a very rare example of work by a public library service with young people who are amongst the most vulnerable we are ever likely to meet. To be successful takes perseverance and commitment, as well as an honesty that the young people will connect with - anything less, and they will see through it, and turn away.“
