Read with me organizes reading committees each year and contributes to the organization of committees and selections of picture books for partners.
Reading committees for Read with me
Each semester, we invite professionals, salaried or volunteer readers, lovers of children’s picture books or just the curious to reading committees.
There, new picture books, which we have been able to share with audiences, are read, presented, and analyzed.
We make our selections as a team mainly thanks to scouting in independent partner bookstores in the region, which graciously lend us the picture books presented.
And we most often offer these committees in partnership with the libraries that host us.
We organize around ten committees in several towns in the Nord and Pas-de-Calais regions. Once a year, we also offer a reading committee by videoconference to our entire network.
Committees are free entry.
Organize your own reading committee
Read with me contributes to the organization of reading committees on novelties or specific themes, on behalf of partner structures, in particular municipal, inter-municipal or departmental media libraries, or territorial early childhood services.
These committees can be proposed face-to-face or by video.
We train the structures to organize a reading committee:
- Analyze a picture book,
- Read a picture book aloud,
- Animate and organize a reading committee.

This literary prize is supported by the Department of Pas-de-Calais through the You’re never too young to read operation developed by the Departmental Media Library (operation leaflet HERE).
