“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.” — Frederick Douglass
Welcome March—National Reading Month! This celebration begins with Read Across America Day on March 2, a nationwide initiative designed to foster a love of reading and promote diverse books and voices.
Originally created to honor Dr. Seuss, Read Across America has evolved to embrace a broader mission: increasing diversity in both reading material and the readers reached. The National Education Association now encourages schools, libraries, and communities to celebrate all stories and perspectives during Read Across America Week (March 2-6) and throughout National Reading Month.
Reading is more than just a skill—it’s a gateway to knowledge, imagination, and discovery. Books transport us to new worlds, introduce us to diverse cultures, and empower us with innovative ideas. Whether you’re reading for education, entertainment, or personal growth, your library is here to help you find the perfect book.
With your free library card, you have access to an incredible collection of books, audiobooks, eBooks, and digital resources for all ages and interests. Whether you love historical fiction, graphic novels, mysteries, or memoirs, there’s something waiting for you on the shelves or online.
This March, celebrate the joy of reading with your library. Stop in, browse, and find your next adventure today!
“Reading can take you places you have never been before.” — Dr. Seuss
