What is National Read A Book Day?
On September 6th, National Read a Book Day is celebrated annually. We all celebrated National Book Lovers Day on August 9th. Although these bookish days may seem similar, National Read a Book Day encourages us all to buy a book we will love and spend the day reading.
Don't tell it to yourself. Share the story! Read aloud to children or grandparents, whether to children or grandparents. Read to your dogs or to your stuffed animals and plants.
Reading enhances memory and concentration as well as reducing stress. Older adults who read a lot show a slower cognitive decline and are more interested in more physically stimulating activities throughout their lifetime. Books are a cheap entertainment, educational device, and time machine too.
