National Book Lovers Day

In honor of National Book Lovers Day, August 9, let's stop scrolling and put away our smartphones, pull out a good book and simply read. (Well, an audiobook will suffice too.) From clay tablets to today’s eBooks, literature has played a crucial role in preserving cultures, educating the masses, and storytelling. Thanks to Johannes Gutenberg’s 15th-century printing press, anyone, not just royalty, monks, or landed gentry, could read and own books.

Today, join a book club, find a new book, or re-read a favorite novel and enjoy National Book Lovers Day. Happy reading!
