Get Caught Reading is a nationwide campaign to remind people of all ages how much fun it is to read. Although May is Get Caught Reading Month, the campaign is promoted throughout the year. It is supported by the Association of American Publishers (AAP). Launched in 1999, "Get Caught Reading" is the brainchild of former Congresswoman Pat Schroeder, President and Chief Executive Officer of AAP, the industry association representing book publishers. Ms. Schroeder saw the opportunity to spread the word about the joys of reading through an industry-supported literacy campaign.
