A message from Pam Allyn of LitWorld to School Librarians:
Imagine a world where everyone can read.On March 6th 2013,
we will celebrate World Read Aloud Day for the fourth time,
in over 50 states and 60 countries. World Read Aloud Day
is about taking action to show the world that the right to
read and write belongs to all people. It is a day motivating
children, teens, and adults worldwide to rejoice in the power
of words, just as librarians do each and every day.
Celebrate in your libraries by reading aloud,
giving away a book, or taking action in any way you can to
"Read It Forward" on behalf of the 793 million people
who cannot yet read.
As librarians, you guide your students into worlds of
wonder and possibility. Libraries are sanctuaries,
where children can discover more than just books or
technology resources-they find opportunities. While
communities evolve and the landscape of information
churns and shifts, you are the steady voice telling
stories, igniting imaginations, making connections,
and changing lives. Your role is essential to spreading
the word and the message of World Read Aloud Day:
that reading is a human right.
Join us as librarians from the most rural to the most
urban parts of the world Read It Forward.
Help us celebrate as a reading leader by engaging
your school and library program on March 6th.
We will honor you on our social media and feature
your pictures of your celebration in our WRAD album
on Facebook.
