"America Reads", a special program designed to promote literacy among schoolchildren, is back for another year. Parents, family members, young adults, community members and business representatives are invited to participate.

Official registration for the program, which takes place on October 22 and 23, has now closed, but you may still be able to participate by contacting any specific school in the Cedar Rapids Community School District directly. Learn more about this program on the school district website.
