That’s right: every week we are going to celebrate some small holiday! We want you to join us in celebrating every week – because really, everyone needs a little more happiness in their lives.

Join us in celebrating the holiday just yourself, and take some small quiet time to enjoy it. Or, take our book and program ideas, and celebrate in a larger way in your library. Take a small, goofy opportunity to have a little more fun today! (We celebrate you in doing this!)

It’s a day to celebrate cereal! Whether you like hot or cold cereal, whether you have it first thing in the morning or enjoy it in the late night as you watch bad TV – it’s a happy thing. There are so many different kinds of cereal that it can be appropriate for everyone. So today, spend some time today having cereal-related fun!

Try a few books:

• The Cereal Killer Chronicles of Battle Creek, by Jenn Carpenter
• Cereal Fairies: Going to see Branma – #1, by Stephanie Hazel Evans
• The Cereal Murders (Goldy Culinary Mysteries, Book 3), by Diane Mott Davidson
• The Great American Cereal Book: How Breakfast Got Its Crunch, by Martin Gitlin and Topher Ellis
• Arthur and the Crunch Cereal Contest: An Arthur Chapter Book, by Marc Bown
• Cereal Killer (A Maternal Instincts Mystery Book 11), by Diana Orgain

And there are some fun things you might try in your library to celebrate today’s idea of cereal:

• bring in a bunch of different kinds of cereals and different kinds of milk , and set up a cereal bar to let participants enjoy some fun; bonus points if you have mainly kid themed cereals
• use those empty cereal boxes to do some crafting in the library; you can start with the book I Am Not a Cereal Box: 10 Exciting Things to Make with Cereal Boxes by Carlton Publishing Group
• a no-bake cooking activity is always fun in a library, and cereal could be a useful main ingredient; you can get ideas in the book How To Make Cereal Treats: 60 easy, no-bake marshmallow crispy treat recipes for every occasion
• using cereal to make crafts can be an easy thing; break out the construction paper, glue, scissors, and everything else you have to share with patrons to have crafting fun
