In partnership with BBC Arts, we are about to embark on an exciting year-long celebration of the novel with public library services across England. Libraries will be working alongside creative partners and local communities to develop innovative events and activities that will inspire people to try reading something new or reawaken interest in reading.

The project is funded by Arts Council England.

We are seeking a creative organisation who can support the evaluation of this project, helping us in particular to identify whether the project was successful in its aims of reaching into communities and inspiring new readers.
