Saturday, April 12 is "Drop Everything and Read" Day, in honor of author Beverly Cleary's birthday. One of the author's favorite characters, Ramona Quimby, calls it "D.E.A.R." Day. The website for this event is: http://dropeverythingandread.com/
The Youth Services staff will have plenty of Beverly Cleary books on hand for D.E.A.R. Day. Stop by the Library and join the fun.
Here's what Ramona has to say about her favorite holiday:
"I hope that you, D.E.A.R. friend, will be reading too. Everybody can do it! All you need is a book, your family and 30 minutes together."
