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!)
I love this kind of holiday! No big message, nothing to learn from it – just a time for having some silly fun. Everyone has a pile of socks that have mysteriously lost their mates somewhere in the laundry process. Why? How? Who knows? It’s a mystery! An easy program would be to have everyone bring in single socks to display. Maybe they could be turned into art projects. Maybe wall hangings. Maybe people could write stories about the exploits of those missing socks. Celebrate this very silly mystery, and encourage everyone to have a chuckle over the foolishness of it all!
