Groundhog Day



Groundhog Day is on February 2, 2009 this year, and in our Youth Services Department, we have a number of books relating to groundhogs and the day - both fiction and non-fiction.


"If Candlemas be fair and bright,Come, Winter, have another flight;If Candlemas brings clouds and rain,Go Winter, and come not again." ~ an Old English Song.
