Schools across the country celebrate reading by participating in National Young Readers Day on the second Tuesday of November each year. This is an annual event that was co-founded in 1989 by Pizza Hut® and the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. This year, schools can choose any day that week that works best for them.

Set aside as a special day to recognize the joys and benefits of reading, schools recruited local “celebrities” to read aloud a favorite children’s book to their classrooms.  Local reading role model “celebrities” included local officials, sports figures, public safety officers, parents, and other guests from the public and private sector.
