Summary/Abstract: The article constitutes an analysis of a survey conducted among 6th-grade students from Będzin. The survey concerned reading habits and preferences of students enrolled in ten different schools. Moreover, the article presents the level of active readership in Poland as well as the number of readers registered in the libraries of the Silesian Voivodeship. The results of the survey were divided according to gender in order to emphasize the differences in reading interests and activity. Among others, the study discusses the level of interest in books on the compulsory reading list as well as other types of publications, the number of books read per month, opinions concerning the attractiveness of reading as an activity, and the various methods of acquiring books. Moreover, the study describes the influence of the home environment on reading habits, establishes the frequency of visiting libraries and bookshops, and discusses the independence in the choice of books as well as reading preferences in general.
