Get caught reading! In May, and year round 💜

May is National Get Caught Reading Month. A celebration of stories, imagination, and the quiet joy of getting lost in a good book. 📖✨

First launched in 1999, and sponsored by “Every Child a Reader,” a non-profit organization, this nationwide campaign reminds us that reading is not only essential — it’s transformative. Whether you’re turning pages at home, in a cozy café, or out in the sunshine, every moment spent reading is a moment invested in growth.

Dr. Maya Angelou believed deeply in the power of words; how they can heal, teach, and open doors to new worlds.

So this month, we invite you to slow down, sip something warm, and get caught reading. ☕🌸

Each Wednesday this month, we’re highlighting as part of Get Caught Reading Month, encouraging everyone to pause, pick up a book, and reconnect with the power of reading. 📖✨

Where is your favorite place to read?
