Our hope is that schools and libraries daily incorporate these habits and values. I always say that April 30 th is a celebration of a year-long commitment.
Some locations celebrate for more than one day.
Some are unable to celebrate on the actual day but choose a convenient time near the end of April, now National Poetry Month. Do visit the sites below for many suggestions for planning your events. My dream is to see this observance as part of every school and library calendar. We need to ask publishers and book stores to join our efforts. Often we re so busy planning that we ignore the ideas and energies of the elderly and the young.
