''' Read Posters''' are a series of posters featuring the first seven [[Historical Characters]] in reading poses. <br />
<br />
These were initially released in approximately '''1994''' after Addy's release and [[Retirement|retired]] by '''2002''' before a poster was released for [[Kaya'aton'my]]. Retail cost was ''$5.95'' per poster.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
The posters were partially inspired by the American Library Association's READ ad campaign. <br />
<br />
Each poster showed an illustration of the historical character posed in an accurate setting wearing an outfit from their collection and reading a book. The picture was framed in parchment background similar to the [[Central Series#First_Style:_Parchment_.281986-2000.29|first edition parchment style]] books<ref>This included Kit, though she never had her books released in the style.</ref> with text above and below stating: ''Reading: The Timeless Pastime of American Girls.'' <br />
<br />
Posters either came folded or rolled in storage tubes.<br />
<br />
The [[The American Girls Club|American Girl Club and Historical Society]] membership kit included the first five characters arraigned together in a poster. <br />
<br />
These were partial inspiration for the [[Hallmark#Bookends|Hallmark bookends]]. <br />
