* How does the school librarian receive information on whether the reading promotion has any effect on the pupils?

Through my observations and interviews I have reached the conclusion that certain factors are particularly important when it comes to encouraging pupils to read.

I have also noted that the librarians I interviewed work with reading promotion in different ways but all are convinced that it is possible to inspire an interest in reading among the pupils, at least if the condition (Less)
