The Youth Services Department of Davie County Public Library will welcome The Cat in the Hat on Monday, Feb. 26 at 6:30 p.m. to celebrate “Read Across America.”

“NEA’s Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss,” says the NEA website.

Families with children are invited to attend and hear the story, enjoy The Cat’s antics and participate in some ‘Cativities’ and light refreshments. Participants are welcome to wear Seuss character costumes or apparel. Bring your cameras for pics with The Cat.
