May is National Get Caught Reading Month. Spring is a time of renewal and exploration. It’s a time when the weather is getting nicer, the sun is shining longer, and the urge to get out into nature is strong. Spring is a time for discovery, comfort and community. This month, readers can embrace this theme by exploring the world around them with the company of a good book.
For this month’s celebrations, we challenge all readers to share a photo of themselves reading in unexpected places. Find the most “un-library-like” spot to sit back and read a chapter or two. Places like sporting events, in a hammock, at the laundromat, or while waiting in line. Share this photo on social media with #GetCaughtReading and let people know what and where you were caught reading. A book can be a companion anywhere, not just at a desk.
