Shrewsbury Library goes Red

Monday 7th October 2019

Staff from Shrewsbury Library joined in the Go Red fun and went red on 4th October. Raising awareness of dyslexia on world dyslexia day and promoting their local dyslexia support groups.

Branch Manager Katherine Berry had this to say '“Shropshire Libraries are proud to support readers with Dyslexia with our Dyslexia friendly reads for children and teens. Dyslexic readers really progress when they are able to learn or work in an environment where there is a good understanding of what dyslexia is and creating awareness with the Go Red campaign has really helped with that.”

The colour red started making an appearance on landmarks in various global locations after an initial campaign founded in Australia in 2015 called Code Read. The founders were mothers who whose aim was to raise greater awareness of dyslexia and advocated for their children. The fact you’re reading this today is testament to their commitment and success. Many dyslexia campaigners share common goals around equal access to literacy and reading, pushing for:

• dyslexia-aware teachers
• early screening and identification
• appropriate support
