National Read-A-Thon Day is this Saturday, January 24th from 12:00pm to 4:00pm. National Read-A-Thon Day is intended to raise awareness about literacy and love of reading. The Read-a-thon is sponsored by the National Book Foundation, who’s mission is to expand the audience for literature in America and promote literacy. Here at the library, this will mean providing a space (the library) for people to read.

We have a poster for it up by the Reference Desk that mentions raising funds. The library will not be involved in fundraising, however, if an indivisual would like to get involved they can go to the website below or #TimeToRead on Twitter.
