Today is Read Across America Day, an event promoted by the National Educational Association since 1998 as a way to promote and encourage children’s reading. Which is as good a reason as any to share this illustrated cover from the 1917 Maxwell Book for Kiddies, a small collection of nursery rhymes compiled by Detroit, Michigan’s Maxwell Motor Company.

This booklet is part of Hagley Library’s Z. Taylor Vinson collection of transportation ephemera (Accession 20100108.ZTV). For over sixty years, Zachary Taylor Vinson (1933-2009), a senior lawyer with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1993-1995 president of the Society of Automotive Historians, and 1995-2009 editor of Automotive History Review amassed a large and comprehensive collection of printed material documenting on the history transportation, particularly automobiles.

Our Digital Archive offers a small selection of materials from the Vinson collection documenting the history of the automobile and transportation. Click here to view them online.

📚 What are you #CurrentlyReading?? . . . Happy Monday, Bookworms! Today is Read Across America Day here in the US, also known as Dr. Suess Day, which is pretty cool. While every day is a reading day for most of us bookworms, it’s always nice to enjoy these national reading day as well. 🤓 Are you reading anything awesome today?? I am wrapping up my re-read of the *To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before* series this week with *Always and Forever, Lara Jean*, and I SO enjoyed reading this series again! I’m definitely excited for the 3rd movie, whenever it is going to release on Netflix, and I may even read the books again before then. 🥰 And I should have this finished up in time to start *Chain of Gold* when it releases tomorrow! 🥰 Now, what are YOU guys currently reading?? . . . 📚 Currently Reading. #AlltheBooksMarch20 📚 Throwback. #BooksofMar20 📚 Thieves. #BooksCoasttoCoastMarch20 📚 Did Not Finish. #TumblesOverBooks . . . #readacrossamerica #amreading #jennyhan #bookstagram #yabooks #toalltheboysivelovedbefore #bookstagramfeature #flatlay #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity #booklover . . . https://www.instagram.com/p/B9OpT9GJ8va/?igshid=1g1ub01niagyd
