Happy National Read a Book Day! It's the perfect excuse to unplug, slow down, and revel in the magic of transporting yourself through a good book. Here are some ways you can celebrate with us today:
-Check out hidden gems you may have never heard of, found on our Staff Pick shelves in Meredith and Laconia.
-Lend or gift a beloved favorite read to a friend, or trade favorites so you can compare notes!
-Read a book with your child, or start a bedtime story routine.
-Consider carrying a portable mass market paperback, something that will fit in your pocket or bag, that you can dip into whenever you would otherwise be scrolling on your phone.
-Listen to an audiobook on your commute, or while doing chores around the house. Support your local indie (including Innisfree) by downloading audiobooks from Libro.fm.
”Reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another’s skin, another’s voice, another’s soul.” – Joyce Carol Oates
