Book reading in Aotearoa

The Book Council has recently published a new research report that has found nearly 400,000 New Zealanders did not read a book in 2016.

Following this, reporter Jack van Beynen took a deep dive into New Zealand's relationship with books, including the benefits of reading, the reasons why Kiwis aren't reading, at how Kiwis are accessing books, and a look to the future with some of the more positive trends in New Zealand reading.
