Le département de la Seine-Maritime (France) et sa médiathèque départementale militent et œuvrent depuis de nombreuses années pour rendre la lecture accessible au plus grand nombre.
C’est ainsi qu’est né en 2006 Lire à la Plage: amener le livre là où on ne l’attend pas, au plus près des habitants et visiteurs de la Seine-Maritime, gratuitement et sans conditions. Aujourd’hui, Lire à la Plage, ce sont 13 cabanes éphémères installées chaque été tout le long du littoral, du Havre jusqu’au Tréport, et plus de 40000 lecteurs chaque année.
Cet engagement en faveur de la lecture pour tous nous semble primordial à défendre et à mettre en avant.
La période que nous traversons nous donne envie de réaffirmer haut et fort nos convictions, en mettant en avant les portraits de lecteurs, différents dans leur posture mais ensemble dans leur plaisir de lire.
Notre volonté est de (re)mettre les gens au cœur de notre action, de les valoriser en tant que lecteur et de mettre en avant indirectement les librairies, bibliothèques et lieux culturels si précieux en ce contexte de crise sanitaire.
