Reading in shorts

We love the concept behind and the scope of the recently launched Lire en Short (Reading in shorts) children’s literary festival in France, which has nationwide literary events taking place during the summer school holidays when children and parents are looking for entertainment.

The CNL (Centre National du Livre) released a report in March that showed that the reading habits of the French have decreased amongst the 15-24 age group, and it is hoped that this festival will address this.
