           DIGEST  :    This resolution recognizes March 2, 2011, as 
          Read Across America Day.

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following 
          legislative findings:

          1. Reading is the building block to learning and the 
             foundation for future success. 

          2. "Read Across America" is a national celebration in honor 
             of Dr. Seuss's birthday on March 2 that promotes 
             literacy, reading, and adult involvement in the 
             education of pupils. 

          3. The theme of this year's event, "Serve Up A Good Book," 
             reminds children of all ages that learning to read is 
             fun and one of the most important things they will learn 
             to do.
