Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

While Dr. Suess (Theodore Seuss Geisel), author of many wonderful books for early readers, is no longer with us, we continue to celebrate his birthday with "Read Across America Day". This afternoon, representatives of Franklin County Library System are joining employees of the Chambersburg Target Store in commemorating Dr. Seuss by reading some of his wonderful books. You may be aware that Horton Hears a Who is being released as a feature film in theaters near us this month. Even those who do not know Dr. Seuss intimately may be aware that one of his most famous stories, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, has been in movie form for several years.

My personal favorite is Green Eggs and Ham, which I hope to read this afternoon between 1:00 and 3:00 pm. at Target. Hope to see you there. And don't forget to "Read Across America" today, and all week!
