In 2009, the government made reading a national agenda (In 2012, Thailand’s adult literacy rate stood at 93.5%). And perhaps that campaign was so successful that people prefer reading at home. Only 1.6% in the PUBAT survey prefer to read at a library. Or it could as well be that public reading spaces do not accommodate or facilitate people enough. The National Library of Thailand in Bangkok, for example, is difficult to get to, closed on national holidays and at 5pm on weekend. Some of the Bangkok’s community libraries have the look that would appeal to antique collectors or have a look of a disused bookstore. The common sight of kids reading for hours on the floor at big chain bookstores must mean something is not right.
