National Year of Reading 2012
Why declare a National year of reading?
According to the 2006 Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey, nearly half of all Australians (46%)
don’t have the literacy skills they need to cope with the complex demands of everyday life and
work in the emerging knowledge-based economy.
A survey by the Australian Industry Group in May 2010 of major employers found that more than
75% felt their businesses were affected by low levels of literacy and numeracy in the workforce.

The Light in Winter at Federation Square Melbourne – June 2012
The Light in Winter is Federation Square’s free, month long winter program in June – that brings together local and international artists, designers and more than 20 multicultural communities to celebrate light and enlightenment.
This year the program has been inspired by the National Year of Reading and the light that reading sheds on our lives.
