2026 Shakespeare Day

Next week is "National Talk Like Shakespeare Day"! It's observed on April 23, in honor of the author's birthday. To learn more about this celebration, check out the official site at: http://www.talklikeshakespeare.org/ This year it happens to coincide with "National Library Week".

Folger Shakespeare Library also hosts a variety of events, activities, contests, and programs for both kids and adults.

I've previously shared my own interest in Shakespeare in an article with Southern Writer's Magazine. You can check that out here: For the Love of Shakespeare.

I love how Shakespeare’s works continue to inspire readers and writers across generations. His plays and poetry offer timeless lessons about human nature, creativity, and language, making them valuable for students and literature enthusiasts alike. Staying connected with education updates can also help readers discover new perspectives on learning and literature.
