Today is National Read a Book Day. I found it super cool that we have a day set aside for reading a book. I did some research on the history of National Read a Book Day, and here's what I found.
The first National Read a Book Day took place in the early 2000s. It was created to express the importance of reading. But even now, the average adult reads about four books a year. We should all encourage people to read, and read a lot ourselves. Try out a new genre if you can't find a book you like, or re-read one of your favorites. Well, happy National Read a Book Day!
