Blue & White and Read All Over

The May 2007 issue of American Libraries features a photograph of Penn State President Graham Spanier's Read poster. It promotes my alma mater's Newspaper Readership Program that offers students the USA Today, the New York Times and a local/regional newspaper at no additional cost.

The goals of the program are to enhance the learning environment on campus; increase students' knowledge of community, national, and world events; to encourage a lifelong daily newspaper readership habit, and to create citizens who are more engaged in their local communities.
