Steadier newspaper readership, more local periodicals and great library resources helped propel St. Louis into the Top 10 most literate cities in the nation, according to an annual study conducted by Central Connecticut State University. With improvements in several areas used to measure a city’s literacy, St. Louis landed at No. 6 this year compared to No. 12 last year, ahead of Boston and San Francisco.
