Baltimore: 27th most-literate city?
December 28, 2007
Minneapolis may have ousted Seattle to be named the nation’s most literate city this year, but Baltimore wasn’t even in the running, coming in at No. 27 in the ranking by Central Connecticut State University.
The report compared the nation’s largest cities in terms of libraries, education, newspaper readership, local publishing industry and bookstores.
Seattle was weakened this year by the online element: online newspaper readership, Internet resources in libraries and Internet book orders.
Other placements: San Francisco at No. 7; Boston at No. 10; Los Angeles at No. 53.

Perhaps Minneapolis will take Baltimore’s former moniker and refer to itself as “The City that Reads.”
