The Superpower of Books: A Guide to Popularizing Reading by Maria Deskur, president of the Powszechnego Czytania Foundation, was created for professionals and volunteers who are involved in various ways in increasing the number of Poles who read books. So far, available in Polish, English (The Superpower of Books, a handbook for promoting reading), Latvian (Grāmatu Superspeks, Lasīšanas veicināšanas rokasgrāmata), have now also been translated into German (Die Superkraft der Bücher, Ratgeber zur Leseförderung).
The publication answers the questions:
- Why promote reading?
- How to approach this to achieve change on a national scale?
- What are some proven methodologies?
Reading is not a privilege – it is a necessary condition for raising wise, responsible citizens. The future of Poland, and of other countries, depends on the level of reading. Working together is very important in achieving this goal. The Superpower of Books. A handbook for promoting reading is an attempt to define this goal and the paths that can lead to its achievement.
