St. Patrick’s day is just around the corner! Here are a handful of catchy and insightful Irish sayings to help spread some good luck around! Click here for more.
May you always have a clean shirt, a clear conscience, and enough coins in your pocket to buy a pint!
You must take the little potato with the big potato.
May you have food and raiment, a soft pillow for your head. May you be forty years in heaven before the devil knows you’re dead.
May the roof above you never fall in, and those gathered beneath it never fall out.
May you live to be 100 years, with one extra year to repent.

Most of us know of the availability of Snopes.com to check on the accuracy of many so-called “stories”. But here is a very valuable resource: Snopes’ Field Guide to Fake News Sites and Hoax Purveyors. You will likely be surprised to find out some of the news sources that are fabricating their “reporting”. Here is a partial list that the field guide mentions:
National Report: This is the most prominent and popular example of false news reporting on the internet. Facebook has tried to establish algorithms to prevent the spreading of this type of vicious false news. In response, sites like National Report now use the domain names of legitimate news outlets such as the Washington Post and USA Today which mirror the National Report‘s content.
World News Daily Report: This one often mixes together incorrectly attributed and stolen photographs to spread long-held misinformation.
Huzlers: Uses the names of popular brands and restaurants to spread vicious rumors.
News Examiner:Gets around Facebook’s new algorithms by combining real news and listed items in with its fabricated news stories.
Each month we’ll bring you a compiled list of fun national holidays, birthdays of authors, and publication dates of favorite books. You can use these for your own personal use or for some library inspiration!
