The BBC is pushing reading even higher up the agenda with a concentrated campaign in 2016 called Get Reading which aims to encourage people to read.
The year-long programme is in partnership with The Reading Agency, Book Trust, the National Literacy Trust, the Society of Chief Librarians and the Scottish Library & Information Council.
The campaign will celebrate great authors and their works in order to galvanise the nation into talking about books as well as reading them.
