Read Across Philadelphia

The National Education Association is holding its 145th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia this year, and thousands of NEA members will be enjoying our city in the coming days. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the NEA’s Read Across America program, and in honor of this--and in partnership with the Free Library--the president and other members of the NEA will be here at the Central Library on Friday, June 29 at 10:00 a.m. to host a Dr. Seuss-themed Read-In. In addition, there will be related events taking place all day throughout the Free Library system. See the listing below, and contact individual Library locations for further information.
