Global Read Aloud Day

As we get ready to celebrate World Read Aloud Day on February 5, 2025, I pulled together lots of my favorites that celebrate books and reading. 

They are perfect for this very special day. 

You will find the You’ve Been Book’d choice board here and other resources here at my The Library Voice blog.
