Today, Governor Whitmer issued a proclamation declaring the month of March as Reading Month in Michigan. Throughout the month, schools, children, and adults alike use this time to promote the importance of reading.

<p><span style="mso-bookmark:gd_top"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">“Every year the country uses this month to promote reading and imagination. I am proud to declare March as Reading Month in Michigan and I encourage
everyone to find time to read,” said <b>Governor Whitmer.</b> “This month, we should

what they read.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
