Young people read more than those raised before the internet age, the director of Poland’s National Library, Tomasz Makowski, has said.

His comments follows a National Library study which showed that some 37 percent of Poles read at least one book in 2016.
The study also showed that 22 percent of Polish households did not have a single book.
But Makowski said that the term “reading crisis” often used to describe statistics suggests “that the situation with reading used to be good and is worse now, but in fact, it was never good”.
He said that the internet is wrongly often blamed for a decline in the number of people reading.
