Library of Congress Selects James Patterson as First ‘Champion of the Young Readers Center’
“Patterson believes that one key step toward improved literacy is for parents, grandparents, and other guardians to see encouraging reading as an integral part of their job, as important as getting kids to the dinner table. As part of his outreach to independent booksellers, Patterson created a bumper sticker that says ‘We Read in Our House.’ He encourages every family to adopt that philosophy.”
