National Days

Looking for something to celebrate but can think of what it should be? Here is a list that may or may not be the comprehensive list of "National Days" in the U.S.  (I found it on the Web; it must be true and reliable!)

Now, if this doesn't suffice, there is probably a whole bunch of local to your community/library days you could celebrate (excluding obvious things like birthdays, years of service, anniversaries of start dates, etc., which I'll cover later). You could even create a web site form that asks your colleagues and patrons to submit nominations for "days to celebrate" and then create a list from this.

(The imaginative and colorful baseball owner, Bill Veeck, once staged a night for Joe Earley, after the fan protested that the Indians owner had honored everyone except the average "Joe.")

In any event, there is lots of opportunity to good and silly times from such an effort.

And there is often just as much fun in thinking about whether an event might be fun as there is in actually having the event!
