Recently, Australia Reads presented VOLUME symposium, an online discussion aimed at unpacking Australia’s reading engagement. In an earlier story, ArtsHub took a dive into the chewy question raised: Is reading in crisis?
Now, ArtsHub captures some of the ideas raised across VOLUME aimed at reversing the situation, and how – as a sector and population – we may identify opportunities to bring reading back into our lives.
