March 2nd - Let's "Read Across America"

Celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss. Join people across America in this annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading. Pick up a book and read to your siblings, neighbors, family or friends!

Read Across America Poem

You're never too old, too wacky, too wild,
To pick up a book and read with a child.
You're never too busy, too cool, or too hot,
To pick up a book and share what you've got.

In schools and communities,
Let's gather around,
Let's pick up a book,
Let's pass it around.

There are kids all around you,
Kids who will need
Someone to hug,
Someone to read.

Come join us March 2nd
Your own special way
And make this America's
Read to Kids Day.
