Murfreesboro Mayor Tommy Bragg reads to fourth-grade students at Bradley Academy.

The date has been set! 2011's Reading in the Schools Day will take place on September 23. Mark your calendars!

Reading in the Schools Day is an annual event. Rutherford County elementary schools, private schools, and Murfreesboro City Schools participate in this annual event. Over 1,000 classrooms and 20,000 children have volunteer readers in their classrooms sometime during the day.

Reading in the Schools Day takes place around the end of September. Last year's event was held on September 17, 2010. On the following day, local libraries hold the Read To Succeed Reading Rally.
