SOMERSWORTH—
Rotary Clubs throughout New Hampshire, Maine and Newburyport areas are celebrating Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss’ Birthday by sharing their love of reading to children of all ages. Rotary District 7780 which encompasses 41 clubs have made promoting and supporting literacy one of its major commitments to children and adults throughout our local communities and in those around the world. Since 1986, Rotary International has made literacy a major focus and lifelong commitment both locally and internationally.
Somersworth-Berwick Rotarians were at the Somersworth Middle School on Tuesday, March 2nd to share their love of reading and love of Dr. Seuss with middle schoolers.
In celebration of Read Across America and Dr. Seuss’ Birthday on March 2nd, the Somersworth-Berwick Rotary Club presented the Somersworth Middle School Library with a collection of Dr. Seuss Books.
