Reading changes lives
World Book Day - Sunday
April 23, is all about celebrating reading and books.
Reading paves the way for
intellectual and emotional growth throughout our lives. Studies show that there
are many benefits to reading — from helping us overcome stress to keeping our
brains sharp.
Books nurture our
imaginations and our empathy, take us places we've never been, and introduce us
to ideas and people we might never have otherwise encountered. Literacy skills
can help empower people, positively impact communities and enrich lives.
Happy World Book Day!
