Annual Day of Reading will be Feb. 10

We know that children learn what is important by watching what adults do. We read all the time – in classes, at work, for leisure, for e-mails, texting, etc.
Out of this conviction grew the Annual Day of Reading and a goal to have Akron identified as the Reading Capital of the World.

To achieve this recognition, we are seeking 100,000 people in Summit County to read for at least 30 minutes on February 10. If we reach this goal, we will submit it to the Guinness Book of World Records. We know that more than 100,000 people in Summit County read every day, but we need your help to confirm this number.

Lend your voice to our call to read by visiting http://www.thiscityreads.org. Register today to pledge your intent to read on Feb. 10. You can also register your reading on Feb. 10 at the same site.

For further information, please call the Office of the Provost, 330-972-7508.
