What is National Young Readers Week?

National Young Readers Week is an annual event that was co-founded in 1989 by Pizza Hut® and the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. To make this week special, many schools recruit local “celebrities” to read aloud a favorite children’s book to classrooms.

Congratulations to the 2010 winning schools!
The following schools were eligible to enter by recruiting at least 10 local celebrities to read to classrooms between November 8-12, 2010. Each school won $1,000 to be used for educational resources. Contest rules
