National Book Month is celebrated every October in the United States to promote reading, writing, and literature. It encourages people of all ages to explore the world of books and discover the joy of reading. Libraries, schools, and bookstores often host events and activities to engage the community and highlight the importance of books in our lives. This month-long celebration also honors authors, illustrators, and publishers who contribute to the literary world. Various organizations, such as the American Association of School Librarians, participate by providing resources and ideas for promoting reading in schools and homes, making it a time to appreciate the written word.
