Every Child Deserves to Reach Their Full Potential
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." -Dr. Seuss
Read Across America is a nationwide reading celebration that is the first week of March every year.
This year, you can celebrate Read Across America with us by:
- Donate books to ensure every child has access to books in their home. Make a bigger impact by hosting a book drive!
- Volunteer to read to children and inspire a love of reading.
