This week, Marple Newtown Patch is helping you gear up for Read Across America Day. 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. Marple Newtown Patch asked a local librarian for suggestions to lead you to the perfect read.
