Presidents' Day is on February 16th

Presidents' Day used to be the day of Washington's Birthday and was called just that. Now we call it Presidents' Day and also celebrate Lincoln's Birthday. The day has even been expanded to include all of our nation's presidents.

If you are looking to find out more about some of these great leaders of our country, their wives, the events that were happening around the time of their terms, or their background, stop by your local library to pick up a biography or book on the Presidents. At Main Library, our trough at the entrance to the children's department is filled with books on these topics.
