The Book People has joined up with the National Year of Reading to create an "Adopt a Book" scheme aimed at increasing reading via the workplace.
The scheme encourages businesses to choose a single book for all their employees to read. They buy copies at a discount from The Book People, and instigate reading groups and discussion, turning any old smoking rooms in the workplace into reading spaces.
A leaflet developed with the NYR, which explains the benefits of reading in the workplace in improving communication skills, team-working, morale and brainpower, is being delivered by The Book People to 120,000 workplaces.
