Reading for Entertainment, is There a Crisis?

Based on a 2025 report, University of Florida and University College London has found that daily reading for pleasure in the United States has declined by more than 40% over the last 20 years — raising urgent questions about the cultural, educational and health consequences of a nation reading less.

Important takeaways & discussions:

• Is the local literary community seeing this trend?
• Can the community work together to educate reverse this trend?
• What can the community do to cooperate in this effort?
