This year, 2008, is a very special year. Here are some things about the year it is (the):
A Leap Year
Year of the Summer Olympics: Beijing
International Year of Languages
International Year of the Potato
Chinese Year of the Rat
Year that the Broadway musical Rent will end after 12 years and over 4,300 shows
Election of the 44th President of the United States will take place
Well these events have nothing to do with this website because not only is the year all of the things mentioned above it is the National Year of Reading. This is the real site for it. It has a diary of events, to do with reading and writing, and an event finder. It has reading challenges and you even get to design your own National Year of Reading sign. It is a good website!
