Cat in the Hat party at Norway library

NORWAY — On Wednesday, March 2, the staff at the Norway Memorial Library wants to get the word out about the importance of children's literacy. The National Education Association's (NEA) Read Across America is a year-round literacy project that encourages readers, both young and old, to celebrate reading.

Right here in Norway, they're getting into the reading excitement, too. The Norway Memorial Library will be hosting a Cat in the Hat Party on Wednesday, March 2, from 3:15-4:30 p.m. in honor of Read Across America and Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Seuss lovers of all ages are invited to join in for an hour of excitement, rhymes, and fun. Pull out your red and white stove pipe hat and get ready to have some fun with the Cat in the Hat.

On NEA's Read Across America Day, join in on the fun because “you're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read with a child!” according to Dr. Seuss. Make sure to register for a chance to win a Dr. Seuss door prize when you attend the program.
