Reading Day is observed on June 19 in memory of P. N. Panicker, the Father of the Library Movement in Kerala. The day encourages people, especially students, to develop the habit of reading. Reading broadens our knowledge, improves our language skills, strengthens our imagination, and develops critical thinking. Books introduce us to new ideas, cultures, and experiences, helping us become informed and responsible citizens. Reading also builds confidence, creativity, and good values. On this special day, schools and colleges organize activities such as reading competitions, quizzes, storytelling sessions, and book exhibitions. Let us celebrate Reading Day by reading a good book and making reading a lifelong habit. "A reader today, a leader tomorrow." 📚
