Awesome Books Library Access Index 2026
Awesome Books ranked 44 UK cities and large towns by the number of public libraries per person, naming Swansea the best served and Crawley the least. The index gave the retailer a timely, news-friendly way to connect library access with children’s reading and literacy.
Why it worked: A simple league table with winners and losers, pegged to the National Year of Reading, turned dry civic data into urgent local news.
The lesson: Consider publishing a ranked index with clear local winners/losers tied to a current national moment, plus an explainer page journalists can cite.
