A quick follow-up to Jennifer Mauer’s post about World Read Aloud Day (WRAD), February 5, 2020: I wanted to be sure folks know that authors all across the country offer free "Skype with an Author" visits on that day. All the details about how to participate and connect with an author are provided on author Kate Messner’s website: 

https://www.katemessner.com/skype-with-an-author-on-world-read-aloud-day-2020/   

(I personally still have a few slots still available if anyone is looking for a local connection).

Warm wishes,

> The library community understands the importance of reading, both as a powerful tool for learning and a critical skill for kids to be successful in school and beyond (and it's fun!). Currently, more than half of Oregon third-graders are reading below grade level, which is a significant issue for our communities. SMART Reading, a statewide children's literacy nonprofit, is raising awareness about the importance of reading with kids in honor of World Read Aloud Day on Feb. 5, 2020.
> 
> World Read Aloud Day is an international observance celebrated by millions of people worldwide that aims to advocate for literacy as a fundamental human right. This year, SMART Reading has issued a challenge to get 10,000 Oregonians to take the Reading Matters pledge and read aloud with children in their lives on Feb. 5.
