Did you know reading has many benefits. Not only literacy but also many health and wellbeing benefits! There are many studies beginning to show how reading can improve health and mental health.
According to The World Literacy Foundation, reading can decrease blood pressure, lower heart rate, and reduce stress by up to 68%. Reading calms the mind and relaxes the body. This allows a person to have a clearer mind while engaging their mind with imagination, creativity, strengthens vocabulary and helps with focus. So what better time to pick up a book, newspaper, magazine, eBook and just start reading. Your mind will thank you for it.
Need a great read ask the ILC staff (library@ignatius.vic.eduau), have a look at the Reading list on the ILC catalogue or use the Wheelers ePlatform.
