Join Aotearoa New Zealand’s third Te Awhi Rito/Reading Ambassador Kate De Goldi at an event celebrating the power of reading.

Reading helps young people navigate in an increasingly complex world. But reading for pleasure is declining across every age group in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Hear Kate talk about the myriad pleasures of story and language and why reading for pleasure is crucial for children, young people and their communities. She will also talk about the Awhi Rito role, libraries, and how we might all thrive as a nation of readers.
