Welcome to Scotland's Reading Moment 2022!
To celebrate the power of reading, libraries and good mental health, you are being asked to pledge SIX minutes on Wednesday 11th May 2022 and devote it to reading.

Why? Because taking some time for yourself to relax and do things you enjoy like reading is important to help look after your mental health and wellbeing.

It has been scientifically proven that reading for just SIX minutes a day boosts your mental health by 68%.

The Reading Moment is a public libraries initiative, in partnership with mental health charities, publishers, booksellers, authors and others.

So what are you waiting for? Take the pledge and see how many minutes people all over Scotland will be reading for on 11th May 2022.
