Ahhhh, the sweet delight of getting lost in a book! As a reader, you lose yourself in other worlds and go on great adventures all from the comfort of your home. Reading books takes you places! Make sure you and your students have a book on hand, for it's Get Caught Reading Month!
Get Caught Reading Month was established in 1999. It's a nationwide public service campaign launched by Association of American Publishers to remind people of all ages how much fun reading can be. Since then, it has been celebrated by organizations, authors, teachers, librarians, celebrities, and children. Encourage library patrons to stick their nose in a book throughout May!
