St. Helens Libraries are keen to encourage people to read, and to read more widely. Recent promotional events have been visits by authors and poets such as Erica James, Gervase Phinn, Bryan Talbot, Craig Bradley, Kevin McCann, and Mo Hayder.
We have 7 reading groups in the Borough, who read a diverse spread of titles.
We also support national and regional campaigns such as World Book Day, the Orange Broadband Prize, "Liverpool Reads", and National Poetry Day. We hold an annual Creative Writing competition, which is going from strength to strength. We have also worked with partners to promote reading to disadvantaged groups, culminating in booklets such as "Reflecting Voices", being produced.
