Celebrate Dr. Seuss’ Birthday During Read Across America at Pearland Library

The Pearland Library, a branch of the Brazoria County Library System, will celebrate Read Across America with a Dr. Seuss birthday party at 7 p.m. March 5. Read Across America is an annual celebration of reading observed in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Special guest, Pearland Mayor Tom Reid, will read a favorite Dr. Seuss book aloud. There will be birthday cake, punch, crafts, activities, and an opportunity to read a favorite Dr. Seuss book or two. Expect to see some of staff wearing red and white striped hats!

Read Across America is celebrated on or near the birthday of Dr. Seuss, also known as Theodore Geisel, on March 2. Since that day is also Texas Independence Day, which is a Brazoria County holiday, the Pearland Library will observe Read Across America on Tuesday, March 5. The Pearland Library is observing Read Across America for the first time. The American Library Association is one of the supporters of Read Across America.

The Pearland Library is located at 3522 Liberty Drive in Pearland. The event is free and open to all ages. For more information, contact the Pearland Library at 281-652-1677.
