Probably not. We've got lots of free weeklies and dailies already, and it doesn't seem to encourage those who don't want to read.
In addition, the average newspaper and magazine is carefully written so it's never above a fifth-grade reading level. Now, ask yourself why. =D

Reading absolutely anything will help with improving literacy skills, but I'm sure you could find something much more interesting and inspiring at the local library!

Nope! Literacy starts in the home at a very young age.

NO!!!!! They are frightening for people with poor literacy skills. Encouraging people to use libraries and make friends of the staff is much better.

only if those who need/want to improve literacy skills actually read them
but saying that any books papers should be able to do the same
if you are asking because you or someone you know needs or wants help go to your local library or adult education centre to get advice and info on what help or corses are available
