There is clear evidence of a relationship between pleasure reading and literacy development. Further analysis stresses the centrality of engagement to pleasure. In exploring these relationships the importance of choice, talk, and variety will be discussed. The role the teacher-librarian plays in facilitating interactions with text that promote pleasure and the importance of relationships, knowledge and collection building will be addressed with reference to research and practice. This paper builds on earlier presentations on this and related topics.
