"There’s no limit to what you can read, so open a book and let your imagination lead."


- Dr. Seuss

Happy March!

Oh, the places you'll go during National Reading Month! This month-long celebration of all things literary is the perfect time to rediscover your love of books and celebrate the joy of reading.

One of the most beloved authors in the world of children's literature is none other than Dr. Seuss. With his whimsical characters, silly rhymes, and colorful illustrations, Dr. Seuss has captured the hearts and imaginations of readers young and old for generations. In fact, National Reading Month is celebrated in March to coincide with Dr. Seuss's birthday on March 2nd. And what better way to celebrate his legacy than by taking a journey through his magical world of words?

While reading books is always a fantastic way to celebrate, there are plenty of other ways to get in on the fun. Here are some unique ways to celebrate National Reading Month:

  1. Visit your local library - when is the last time you let yourself get lost in the stacks?
  2. Attend a book signing or a public reading by an author at your favorite bookstore.
  3. Post a "shelfie" on your social media - just snap a photo of your bookshelf, or arrange some books you've read or want to read.
  4. Host a book swap - ask everyone to bring a book to exchange
  5. Try a new format - If you always read physical books, try listening to an audiobook or reading an e-book. Skillsoft's Percipio platform has you covered with an ever-growing library of popular titles in various modalities.

So, as we celebrate National Reading Month, let's embrace the power of the written word and challenge ourselves to read more, explore new genres, and engage in thoughtful conversations with others. And, most importantly, let's have fun and enjoy the journey!

This newsletter features new releases, a roadmap for the next three months, information about our monthly book club selections and bookshelves, occasional publisher updates, and other book-related news. As you browse through this month's new releases, I invite you to keep finding new ways to incorporate our readable solutions into your learning path.
