Celebrate Book Lover's Day with a great read

August 9th is Book Lover’s Day, a special day of the year set aside for those who love to read books. Books educate, inform, inspire imagination and magically transport the reader to another time or place.

If you have young children, what a great day to encourage them to pick up a book this summer. Whether you read online, on an electronic device or the old-fashioned way, why not curl up with your favorite book and read it cover-to-cover today?
