On Wednesday, children gathered at the Library’s Young Readers Center for “Read Across America” day, which also coincides with the birthday of Dr. Seuss.

The National Education Association’s signature program is now in its 19th year. The event at the Library was one of many across the nation to celebrate the joy of reading and motivate children and teens to read.
