Stop! It's time… to read. For the second consecutive year, the National Book Center (CNL), in collaboration with the Ministry of National Education and Youth and all of its partners, invites French women and men to a "quarter of an hour reading" national, March 10 at 10 a.m. In 2022, marked by the Great National Cause, the first edition of the National Quarter of an Hour was attended by nearly 2,000 structures: associations, communities, administrations, libraries, media libraries, companies, social centers, nursing homes... The project is the same this year: open a book for fifteen minutes minimum, whoever you are, whatever you are doing, wherever you are. The CNL invites structures wishing to join the event to register on its website. A practical online guide is also available to participants to help them prepare for their "quarter of an hour of reading". They will be able to share their initiatives via social networks with the hashtag
