World Read Aloud Day!

World Read Aloud Day.

We believe that everyone should have the chance to share stories.

LitWorld founded World Read Aloud Day in 2010 in celebration of the power of reading aloud to create community, to amplify new stories, and to advocate for literacy as a foundational human right. Over the last eleven years, World Read Aloud Day has evolved into a global movement of millions of readers, writers, and listeners from communities all across the world coming together to honor the joy and power of reading and sharing stories, and continue expanding the definition and scope of global literacy.

Join leaders from KPL, the Kalamazoo Community, authors and more for a day of stories shared on KPL TV. Look for giveaways of books related to the readings the week before the event as well! KPL creates community by reading aloud! All ages.
