Today, the ALSC and libraries around the world are celebrating Drop Everything and Read day, a day when we can all celebrate reading for leisure and enjoyment. Libraries around the world are marking the day with family programming, group readings, and storytimes -- from the Timberland Regional Library in Tumwater, Washington to the Woodford County Library in Versailles, Kentucky to the Norfolk Public Library in Norfolk, Virginia to the National Library Board in Singapore, and our own Book Search team has blogged about the origins of DEAR day.
These days, I'm engrossed in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which, as part of the Discovering Sherlock Holmes program run by Stanford University, have been mailed to me as they originally appeared in The Strand Magazine. What about you? If you're not in the midst of a good read, why not take some time today to browse your library's shelves for something you can sink your teeth into -- or delve into Google Book Search for a topic of interest and use the "Find this book in a library" link to find the nearest library (it could be yours) that holds a copy.
