The annual event is part of Read Across America\, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association. Since the event is designed to encourage reading in children and is fostered through the schools\, when March 2 lands on a weekend\, as it is this year\, the day is observed on the closest school day\, which is March 3 this year. \nThis motivational and awareness day calls all children and youth in every community across the United States to celebrate reading. It encourages them to read where ever they are. Great ways to inspire reading in children include: \nKeep books everywhere you spend time. Put them in the car\, in every room of the house\, and tuck them in backpacks and purses. Make them easily accessible. \nVisit the library often. Knowing how to use the library and learning the benefits of a library fosters a love of reading as well as genuine respect for the services libraries provide. \nGet caught reading. Children imitate what they see the adults around them do. Whether they see you read a magazine\, newspaper\, or novel\, let them know reading is the cool thing to do. \nRead to your children. No matter their age\, reading aloud strengthens their vocabulary and language skills. It also opens up opportunities for discussion.

This year\, the Library District has returned to choosing one book for each age group as it has done in the past. The four selections include: \nFuzz by Mary Roach (adult) \nCold the Night\, Fast the Wolves by Meg Long (teen) \nLittle Monarchs by Jonathan Case (juvenile) \nButterflies Are Pretty…Gross! By Rosemary Mosco (juvenile) \n  \nAll Pikes Peak Reads provides residents with a unique opportunity to feel connected with their community by reading the same book together. The annual program focuses on celebrating literature\, improving community connections\, and fostering dialogue across social\, cultural\, and generational lines. Each year\, PPLD selects titles that focus on timely topics and plans a variety of community-wide programs and activities to pair with the book. This year’s titles all relate to nature\, whether it is exploring the surprising world of butterflies\, surviving in the winter wilderness\, learning about monarch butterfly migration\, or reading about human-wildlife interactions. \nYou may also join Pikes Peak Library District as they welcome this year’s authors to discuss their books during in-person or virtual author visits. Visits will be followed by an audience Q&A. At in-person visits\, the author will be available for book signing following the Q&A\, and books will be available for purchase during the event from Poor Richard’s Books & Gifts. \nRegistration is suggested for the in-person events but not required.
