It's Read Across America Week!

Happy Read Across America Week! 📙 Did you know that ... 

📕Reading is an activity that has something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for fiction or self-help, knowledge about a certain topic, or just a good time; there is a book for everything. 

📗Among reading’s many benefits are the innumerable health benefits provided by it. Reading improves brain activity, aids sleep readiness, and reduces stress. Reading can lower your blood pressure and heart rate, and can even fight symptoms of depression. Reading regularly slows down our cognition from aging. 

📘Reading, of any kind, increases vocabulary and comprehension skills. It drastically increases our knowledge on various topics and makes us more intelligent. Reading stimulates the brain, improves our memory, and even makes us better writers.
