Book Lovers Day is celebrated on August 9 and/or first Saturday in November.
Book Lovers Day encourages you to find a place in the shade to relax with a good book. Books are the purest form of escapism. They can take you to any time, place, or culture. Thanks to Johannes Gutenberg’s 15th-century printing press, anyone, not just royalty, monks, or landed gentry, could read and own books.
Book reading is a great hobby. It is an important one, too - employers look for it on resumes. Reading is educational, informative, and relaxing. It makes us both smarter and happier people. Literature has played a crucial role in preserving cultures, educating the masses, and storytelling.
Book Lovers Day is a great day to celebrate. Just grab an interesting book, find a quiet, cozy place, and crack open the cover. Celebrating Book Lovers Day in August is pleasurable on the beach, swaying in a hammock, lounging in the shade of a tree, or while staying cool in your air conditioning. If you fall asleep while reading, that is okay. It is all part of the relaxing benefits of being a book lover.
The Ida Public Library has a great many enjoyable and informative books for you to read. Please drop in and see what we have available!
Will you celebrate Book Lovers Day by finding a new author, joining a book club, or re-reading a favorite novel?
