Pūtoi Rito Communities of Readers is a National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa initiative that aims to engage children and young people with reading for pleasure and wellbeing.

Four projects delivered in Phase 1 2019-2021, focussed on early childhood through to late teens and included development of research, resources, videos and tools.

Due to COVID-19 constraints, a revised timeframe is proposed for commencing the next phase.

Next steps

  • Work towards a new Pūtoi Rito project being informally agreed, by June 2022.
  • Explore options for a second new project.
  • Manage Pūtoi Rito, Te Awhi Rito and He Pārekereke as an integrated programme in the next phase (2022-2023).
