When is National Read A Book Day?

Wednesday September 6th

National Read a Book Day is celebrated every year on September 6th. We all celebrated National Book Lovers Day on August 9th. Although these bookish days may seem similar, National Read a Book Day encourages us all to purchase a book we will love and spend the day reading.

Don't worry about telling it to yourself. Share your story! Share the story! Read aloud to children or grandparents, whether to children or grandparents. Read to your dogs or to your stuffed animals and plants.

Reading enhances memory and concentration as well as reducing stress.. Older adults who read regularly have a slower cognitive decline and are more interested in more physically stimulating activities throughout their lifetime. Books are a cheap entertainment, educational device, and time machine, too.
