Conclusion (the committee's words)
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport should require all local authorities to put in place dedicated community reading for pleasure strategies with libraries at the heart of them. These should focus on bringing together services, including early years settings, Best Start Family Hubs, schools and other local services to boost library use and membership among disadvantaged families. (Recommendation, Paragraph 184)
