Engaging activities for everyone #
The Saint-Just Library, known for its dynamism, has planned a series of fun and interactive activities that will take place throughout the holiday period. These events include read-aloud sessions, literary creation workshops, as well as discussions about books. The goal is to create a welcoming environment where young people can share their passion for literature while developing their reading skills.
The Night of Reading
As part of the Nights of Reading, which will take place between January 18 and 21, the Saint-Just Library will welcome many volunteers. They will organize nighttime events around reading, offering adolescents the opportunity to discover literary works in a friendly and festive atmosphere. This event emphasizes the importance of reading as a source of pleasure and escape.
Resources tailored for young readers #
Aware that adolescents may face various reading difficulties, the library has also developed specific resources to support them. Selected works, easily accessible, are made available to attract the attention of young people by offering them captivating stories that resonate with their interests. This commitment aims to bridge the gap between literature and younger generations.
Strategies to rekindle the love of reading
In the face of competition from technology, it is crucial to find innovative ways to encourage young people to read. Through themed projects and literary challenges, Saint-Just aims to establish a reading marathon that will encourage young people not only to read but to share and exchange their literary experiences with their peers. The library volunteers will play a key role in facilitating these exchanges and creating a sense of community around reading.

The role of volunteers #
Volunteers are at the heart of this initiative. They are trained to accompany young people in their discovery of literature. Thanks to their enthusiasm and passion, they manage to create an environment conducive to discussion and exchange about books. Their role is not limited to simple facilitation: they are also there to listen to young people, give them reading advice, and reassure them about their abilities.
The mobilization of local stakeholders
The success of this initiative also relies on the engagement of local stakeholders. Schools, families, and local businesses are invited to collaborate to make reading a true celebration. By raising awareness among parents and educators about the importance of reading, the city of Saint-Just hopes to create a synergy around this art, making reading accessible and desirable for all young people.
