Introduction

It's time to get excited for National Reading Month on March 1! This day was created to celebrate the importance of reading, and it has been around since the late 1980s. It's a great opportunity to explore new genres, pick up an old favorite book, or just spend some quality time with your favorite characters. Not only is reading beneficial for our mental health, but it can also help us become better informed about the world around us. So let's dust off those bookshelves and dive into a good book this month!
