LYNN — Kids at the Lynn YMCA welcomed a special guest storyteller Monday afternoon: the city’s own Mayor Thomas M. McGee.
McGee made a brief visit to read to the children in attendance as part of “Read Across America Day,” an initiative of the National Education Association that was first observed in 1998.
Also known as Dr. Seuss Day, the annual event is held on the school day nearest to the late author’s March 2 birthday, and is aimed at getting children more excited about reading.
