Nevada Reading Week

For more than forty years Nevada Reading  Week has been celebrated across the entire state - from small rural  communities to larger urban areas. Activities often include book  studies, author studies, literary readings by renowned authors, book  fairs, and family literacy events. The stewards of Nevada Reading Week  include PK-12 school librarians, educators, the Nevada Department of  Education, the Nevada State Library, public libraries, community  leaders, students and their families. Nevada Reading Week serves to  promote a life-long love of reading. From students in Pre-Kindergarten  listening attentively on a circle rug to their teacher’s riveting  read-aloud to high school seniors engaging in rigorous discussions about  a novel, the joy of reading is evident. Each school year begins with  the selection of a specific theme that often reflects the spirit of the  times. Once the theme is announced, it serves as a vehicle for leading a  year-long campaign that culminates in the final celebration during the  first week of March.
