Celebrate March Reading Month in the Brighton Howell Area

March 2, 2023

“The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Suess

The beloved Dr. Suess was born on March 2, that’s why March was designated as National Reading Month. Reading is enjoyable at any age and has a number of benefits including memory improvement, vocabulary expansion, and stress reduction. On your next Brighton Howell Area getaway, stop into one of these local bookstores and libraries to challenge yourself to finish a book during National Reading Month.
