Happy birthday, Dr. Suess

Happy birthday, Dr. Suess - Children and parents are invited to join the Apache County Library District during the month of March as they celebrate Read Across America and Dr. Seuss' 107th birthday.

Dr. Seuss, whose birthday is celebrated on March 2, is a name that rings a tone of recognition for people across the world. His fanciful depictions of imaginative worlds have endeared his works to millions of children; many of his works have been adapted widely in both television and motion pictures, and bookstores still devote considerable shelf space to his works. Though now well-known for books such as "Horton Hears a Who!" and "The Cat in the Hat," Dr. Seuss was not always recognized for his contributions to children's literature, though that's certainly where his greatest influence lies.

The celebration begins Wednesday, March 2, during story times at the Round Valley and St. Johns Public libraries and continue throughout the month at other locations. Check with your local Apache County Library for days and times of celebrations. There will be games, puzzles, coloring pages, books, and a special visit by a surprise guest.
