Initiatives
Small Book – Great Man
The social campaign "Small Book – Great Man" reminds us of the benefits of reading together in a family from the first months of a child's life. It was devised in connection with a nationwide campaign, as part of which young parents will receive unique Reading Layettes in maternity wards.
CZYTAJ PL

They were available at bus stops, libraries, and cultural institutions. The Book Institute is a strategic partner of the campaign.
