Hassenfeld Library: Read Across USN Week

Read Across USN Tracking Form

March 1-8, 2024, is Read Across USN Week!

Here's how it works:

All USN community members who want to participate (including students, families, and faculty/staff) will track the number of pages they read for one week (Friday March 1 - Thursday March 7). Students will receive paper trackers at school, and additional trackers are available in the library. Participants can also submit page counts through this form.

All trackers are due back to the library on Friday March 8. The librarians will tally up the number of pages we read as a school and will announce the final count after we return from Spring Break. Our school goal is 25,000 pages!

Reading is an important part of our lives and comes in all different forms, whether you’re listening to an audiobook while taking a walk, reading a picture book to a child, browsing a magazine on your iPad, rereading a beloved Calvin & Hobbes collection, or even reading sheet music. It all counts! Plus, everyone who turns in a tracking sheet gets entered into a raffle for a bookish prize.

To really get us excited about this challenge, we’re hosting a Community Night in the library on Tuesday, March 5, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., featuring fun activities like a Hassenfeld Library BINGO game, a Nashville Public Library card sign-up station, and an opportunity to create custom READ posters for individuals or families. We’ll also have refreshments, special guest readers, and of course, plenty of books to help keep you turning pages. We hope to see you there!
