Family Reading Night is officially celebrated across the State of Illinois on the third Thursday in November. Thursday, November 19, 2020, marks the 29th year that the Secretary of State’s office has sponsored FRN.
The Illinois State Library has again coordinated with Illinois READS, a program of the Illinois Reading Council, along with the Illinois Library Association’s iREAD.
The FRN theme continues iREAD’s “Dig Deeper: Read, Investigate, Discover” summer reading theme. The Illinois State Library distributed thousands of colorful posters and bookmarks to libraries, schools, and literacy programs across the State, to promote FRN to students and their families.
