Research on libraries and literacy

Does having a library help make a child more likely to read for pleasure at school? And what about at home? Does having a library impact a child’s attitude towards reading?  Room to Read commissioned a research team to examine their libraries in Laos, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Zambia, and South Africa.  Find out in their report, a summary of which is available at http://blog.roomtoread.org/room-to-read/2015/03/crossnationalevaluation.html
