The sixth edition of the Prix Facile à lire Bretagne will run from November 2026 to June 2027, involving 140 libraries across the Brittany region. This initiative is designed to encourage reading among people who are typically less engaged with books, including those with illiteracy or disabilities. During the period, libraries will organize events and meetings with authors of the eight books shortlisted for the prize. Readers will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite book, with the winner to be revealed in June 2027. The Prix Facile à lire Bretagne is part of a broader initiative called Facile à lire, which focuses on making books more accessible, offering library mediation services, and organizing meetings with authors. The prize is coordinated by Livre et lecture en Bretagne, with support from the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (Drac) Bretagne and the Region of Brittany. Other participants include the four departmental libraries of Brittany, as well as the CLPS and the Amisep, two organizations focused on helping people overcome illiteracy. The initiative also involves the National Agency for the Fight Against Illiteracy (ANLCI), the Ideographik association, and the ESAT Adapei Les Nouelles. The official launch of the sixth edition is set for November 3, 2026, with four simultaneous events in Saint-Brieuc (Côtes-d'Armor), Plonévez-du-Faou (Finistère), Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine), and Vannes (Morbihan). The announcement was made on October 2, 2026, during the National Days of Action Against Illiteracy organized by the ANLCI. These events aim to raise awareness about the importance of reading and to engage the public in the initiative. The shortlisted books include 57 rue du soleil by Gaëlle Pingault, Au fil de l'eau by Nicolas Michel, Dédée… un jardin pour maman by Claire Beuve and Tildé Barbey, En nous by Liza Kerivel and Cécile Basecq, Ils arrivent by Éric Pessan, J'ai demandé à mon chat by Hélène Crochemore, Poser un lapin et autres expressions by JAP (Julien Auclair) and Véronique Duval, and Quand j'ai froid by Valentine Choquet. These titles represent a diverse range of voices and styles, reflecting the initiative’s goal of making reading accessible and appealing to a wide audience.
