“Keep reading. It's one of the most marvellous adventures that anyone can have.”

The Book Activist was founded by Victoria Dilly, who was been a school librarian for over ten years working with children aged 2 - 18 years, in state and independent schools. Prior to this she worked in events management, organising corporate and charity events across a range of industries. Victoria believes everyone has the potential to discover reading for pleasure.
