2008: National Year of Reading in UK

I am not sure who all sees this blog...but I sure hope at least one person from Britain does...

The UK government kicked off a National Year of Reading for 2008, and called upon parents to read to their kids for at least 10 minutes daily...

See this link for the news straight from the source...

The government obviously means to encourage reading Books, and not any e-form of it...its plain printed matter that matters...How come nobody is bothered that a well run, obviously much used British Library in another corner of the world is under closure orders?
