The Mayor came along with Cllr Valerie Bossman-Quarshie (Reading Champion) and Cllr Una O'Halloran (Lead member for Libraries) to launch an exciting new digital reading game for children in Years 5 & 6. It has been developed by The Reading Agency in partnership with Get Islington Reading for children in Years 5 & 6.

Karen Napier, CEO of The Reading Agency introduced The Reading Adventure Game and Tony Brown from Islington Libraries walked the children through how the game works.
