This year, National Reading Day is January 23, 2020. National Reading Day is a day dedicated to early literacy. It encourages children from Pre-K to Third Grade to start reading and we encourage people of all ages to pick up a book and read! 

The Tarleton Libraries have a selection of children's books often used by students who are becoming elementary education teachers!

Here are a few children's books found in the Dick Smith Library that the National Reading day website suggests:
