Stevens Point, Wisconsin (March 2, 2022)—In celebration of Dr. Suess’ 118th birthday, Worzalla, an employee-owned book printer specializing in printing high-quality children’s books, cookbooks, and hard-cover best sellers, is delivering 200 books to nearly two dozen Free Little Libraries throughout the Stevens Point community. For 130 years, Worzalla has been committed to printing high quality products and books, as well as helping residents of all ages discover a love for reading.
Dr. Seuss Day, also known as Read Across America Day, was created by the National Education Association to honor the famed children’s book author’s birthday and inspire students to read more books. The Stevens Point area has about two dozen Little Free Libraries throughout the community, which are small structures that community members have voluntarily built to house books for the community to borrow free of charge.
To celebrate, Worzalla associates have volunteered to deliver classic and new titles to Little Free Libraries for residents to enjoy.
“Every year across the country, thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers participate in Dr. Suess Day by bringing together kids, teens, and books to bolster access to reading,” said Brianne Petruzalek, Vice President of Human Resources at Worzalla. “Worzalla aims to nurture an environment where children can have access to a wide variety of books, whenever, wherever, on Read Across America Day and every day.”
In addition to printing an assortment of Dr. Seuss titles, Worzalla works with many of the country’s top publishers to produce popular children’s books, such as current titles like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series from Abrams Books but also classics like Where the Wild Things Are from HarperCollins.
Worzalla is also supporting literacy in the community with its various associate and community involvement activities throughout the year. For example, the “Reel It In For Reading” ice fishing competition invites the community to share their largest ice fishing catches and for each entry, Worzalla makes a donation to the Portage County Literacy Council. Worzalla also organizes year-round book and school supply drives and sponsors community events.
