The ZODML Secondary School Reading Programme aims to encourage Nigerian secondary school students to read regularly and use libraries. Through the "Meet the Author" program, 26 students per month are selected to read a book and meet with the author at the community library. Since launching in 2012 with author J.P. Clark, over 286 students have participated and engaged with 11 authors. The program provides students with a book to read, an interactive session with the author, and a library card to encourage future library use.
