State Rep. Joe Bellino of Monroe today announced his annual March is Reading Month tour. As part of March is Reading Month, the lawmaker will visit schools throughout the Airport, Flat Rock, Jefferson, and Monroe districts and read to students, encouraging them to develop a lifelong interest in reading.

“A love for reading will benefit children their entire lives,” Rep. Bellino said. “March is Reading Month is not only a great way to encourage the learning process, but also a fun way for me to meet with my youngest constituents.”

Schools interested in hosting Rep. Bellino for next year’s reading tour, or would like to set up a separate visit during a later month, should contact Rep. Bellino’s office at (517) 373-1530 or via email at [email protected].
