Why read? 

Reading opens you to worlds of possibilities. Whether it’s recreational, for relaxation or for knowledge development. In an era dominated by constant distractions, the act of sitting down with a book may seem like a lost art. It's crucial, more than ever to rediscover why reading is important and how we can develop stronger reading habits. 

Reading might be the habit you didn’t know you needed.
