The reading room was filmed with the endorsement of the National Center for Family Literacy.  Making good on a promise he made to his dying wife, wealthy suburbanite William Campbell (James Earl Jones) opens a “reading room” in a tough inner-city neighborhood.  The reading room is a place where students can come together to enjoy a vast library of books and improve their literacy.
