Every year on March 17, the Irish and the Irish-at-heart across the globe observe St. Patrickâs Day. What began as a religious feast day for the patron saint of Ireland has become an international festival celebrating Irish culture with parades, dancing, special foods and a whole lot of green.

Scarborough (Maine) Public Library has been offering a central place for residents to get books of all genres for more than 100 years. Now, there is a push to get literature into residentsâ hands in a much different way.
This spring, the library will launch two Little Free Libraries, small privately operated libraries in which people can take or leave a book as they see fit: one at Memorial Park and one at the trail head of the Eastern Trail.
Former preschool director Connie Weed opened this Little Free Library outside her Asselyn Drive home as a way to share the books she has accumulated over the years. There are few limitations on what books can be offered or rules regarding how Little Free Libraries can be run. The Little Free Library organization strives to âpromote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide and to build a sense of community as we share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations.â
The idea is simple: Like municipal libraries, the Little Free Libraries offer the public an opportunity take a book free of charge. Those who take a book are encouraged to leave a book in return the next time they visit, although it doesnât have to be the one they borrowed.

National Grammar Day is observed across the United States each year on March 4th.
According to Global Language Monitor, the estimated number of words in the English language is 1,025,109.  There is some controversy to that number, but itâs safe to say it is over a million.
Language is something to celebrate.  Some people might suggest that grammar is a set of rules for language, but really it is a system for understanding a language; how the words are structured.   Understanding the system and the structure helps us to better understand the language, and can help us to learn new languages.
There are some hard and fast rules in grammar, though. Â Even some of those come up for debate from time to time. Â Have you ever heard of the Oxford comma?
HOW TO OBSERVE
Do your best to use proper grammar and use #NationalGrammarDay to post on social media.
HISTORY
Martha Brockenbrough, founder of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar, designated National Grammar Day in 2008.
As the National Grammar Day website states, âLanguage is something to be celebrated, and March 4 is the perfect day to do it. Itâs not only a date, itâs an imperative: March forth on March 4 to speak well, write well, and help others do the same!â

At The Open Book, in Wigtown, Scotland, you can fulfill your dream of running a bookstore. The unique Airbnb flat costs just 57 USD a night, but it comes with a stipulation: renters also work at the bookshop on the first floor, doing everything that a regular bookshop owner might do in a regular, 40-hour work-week.

My Little Free Library isn’t quite ready for the Grand Opening so we can’t have a Dr. Seuss party this year.
Meanwhile, though…
Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, where I also grew up and went to High School.
The Springfield Library Quadrangle has been home to the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden since 2002.

The weather was pretty nice today so the Little Free Library got its first coat of paint. Â Hopefully, we’ll be having a grand opening this weekend!

Even though it’s a cold, snowy, freezing rain kind of day, I’m busy checking out paint samples for the new Little Free Library.
I also ordered some postcards to leave when I’m visiting other LFLs. Â Between those and stamps, pencils, books, notebooks, labels, this is going to cost a bit, but I’m very excited!
