In 2017, in the priority project entitled „My library“, within the EU project of the Metropolitan Szabó Ervin Library (EFOP-3.3.3.-VEKOP-16-2016-000001 "Museum Museum and library developments for all"), two nationally representative reading and library usage surveys were conducted with 1,500 participants among the age group 3 to 18 and aged older than 18 (for the earlier reports see Könyvtári Figyelő 2018/1. pp. 45- 60., and 2018/2. pp. 188-200.). This time the answers on reading tales collected in the 3 to 17 age group are analyzed. Data have been collected in four age groups (kindergarten, lower and upper sections of elementary school and secondary school), through personal inquiries, in the case of children younger than 10 in the presence of parents, and in a home environment. Parents' educational qualifications, occupation, the geographical location of the place of residence and school type are all influencing factors of reading habits. Children to whom tales are read are more likely to become readers themselves, and with their better competences of text comprehension, they succeed better in learning and later at work.
