Event Details

Join us this afternoon for a celebration of reading and Dr. Seuss on Read Across America Day!

Families with children of all ages are invited to come for Seuss-related games, crafts, snacks, and more! 

We'll also be kicking off our "Create Like Seuss" art contest where children and teens are invited to draw/paint a Dr. Seuss-inspired character creation of their own. 

Submissions will be accepted from today through March 30th.  Artwork will be displayed in the library throughout April.  Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place (as judged by the library staff) as well as a People's Choice Award (voted on by visiting patrons).

Each year, National Read Across America Day is celebrated on March 2nd, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. The annual event is part of Read Across America, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association. This motivational and awareness day calls all children and youth in every community across the United States to celebrate reading and encourages them to read wherever they are.
