Governor’s Weekly Message: “I Love To Read” Month

Former Governor Jack Markell (2009-2017) | News | Date Posted: Friday, February 24, 2012



Dover – In his weekly message, the Governor focuses on developing a lifelong love for reading, something that began for him when his parents handed him his older brother’s copy of Chip Hilton.

“To celebrate reading, to help cultivate a love – not just of Dr. Seuss – but of the power of words to move, to teach, to lead, to inspire, we declared February as “I love to read!” month in Delaware,” said the Governor.  “ It’s a time for parents, public officials, and people like me who are a bit of both – to head into classrooms to read to kids and in the process try and get them hooked, on books. When the month is over, we hope those parents and, more importantly – those kids – keep reading.”

At noon every Friday, the Governor’s office releases a new Weekly Message in video, audio, and transcript form.  The message is available on:
