50 brilliant posters that encourage to read books

This list includes the most wonderful posters that are serving one simple task: they encourage to read books.

Everyone would agree that not enough is being done to encourage people to read. Those who can read don’t realize how lucky they are, having in mind that almost 20% of the world population is still illiterate.

Sometimes, a little reminder can do wonders to make someone put away the computer and reach for a printed book, an e-reader, or a book reading app.

We list most beautiful wonder-making artworks below. You’ll find here enigmatic pictograms, minimalist illustrations, visualized book quotes, as well as wonderful vintage images.

Such posters are not only suitable for classrooms or public libraries. You’ll find here designs perfectly matching a style of a children’s or living room, or a home library.

Some artworks can be also downloaded digitally so that you can print them at home or in your local copy center. This form is most affordable – instant downloads usually cost no more than $5, plus you avoid shipping costs entirely.

There are many sources of the read posters on the web. We have picked the best designs from Amazon, Etsy, Society6, Zazzle, and Redbubble. Enjoy!
