My adventurer spend too much time in the fort (as a full citizen), and his reader skill has rusted from novice to dabbling. I tried locking him up in library to make him read, however, after reading through all the books, he doesn't read anymore. I've tried adding new books (traded trom caravans) but that doesnt help either.

Is there a way to make him read again?

Unretire him and read manually?

Sometimes you just have to accept that your adventurer isn't you any more and has different needs (most of which don't include 'training to be a necromancer').

Dabbling Reader produces "You cannot read" message when trying to interact with books. Besides, I've made an adventurer who values knowledge, so he should be inclined to read.

Some SCIENCE! on adventurers' reading:

While dwarves, who will gladly read the same book over and over again, retired adventurers only read each unique book ONCE. They will not re-read, even if the original was copied. I had to unretire the character again, raid necro tower for lots of unique books and bring them to the fort, retiring again. This way, I successfully managed to bring the Dabbling Reader (164) to Novice (500). It took exactly 10 unique artifact quality books, as adventurer didn't attempt to read any of the codices bought from caravans.

Dwarves did not consider any of the written scrolls adventurer brought. Only unique named books were taken to the library.
