It is the National Education Association’s reading celebration, which takes place each year on, or near, March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. Across the country, thousands of libraries, schools and community centers participate by bringing together kids, teens, adults, and books. Media Patch asked a few local librarians for their favorites to help guide you to the perfect read.
