On
Tuesday, March 2nd, the Capital District YMCAs North Albany branch
will join millions of their peers across the country to celebrate the twelfth
annual National Education Association's (NEA) Read Across America
Day.
NEA's Read Across America Day, which falls on or around Dr.
Seuss's birthday, expects more than 45 million readers, both young and old, to
pick up a book and read.
To
honor the good doctor and celebrate the fun and value of reading, the Capital
District YMCA is asking you to join the NEA and many of America's leading
literacy, youth, and civic groups in bringing a nation of readers together under
one hat-the red and white stovepipe made famous by the Cat in the Hat-for a
flurry (or furry) of reading excitement!
