Each year, National Read Across America Day is celebrated on March 2nd, the
birthday of Dr. Seuss.  However, if it falls on a weekend, it is observed in
the school systems on the school day closest to March 2nd.  This day is a
motivational and awareness day, calling all children and youth in every
community across the United States to celebrate reading.

HOW TO OBSERVE
