Any plant as versatile and durable as the Dandelion, deserves a Holiday set aside to honor it. Most of us know of Dandelions as Weeds in our lawns. To kids, Dandelion is a flower to gather and bring home to mom. Dandelions are so much more than just a Weed. Many gardeners think of the Dandelion only as a Weed. More knowledgeable gardeners know better. Dandelion leaves are edible and savored in Soups or Salads. Dandelion is rich in Vitamins A, B, C, and D. Dandelions are used in making Wine and Tea, too. Native Americans used Dandelion for Medicinal purposes.
You can celebrate National Dandelion Day in many ways. Including eating your lawn. Use this Holiday to introduce yourself to the joys of eating Dandelions. It is taboo to pull Dandelions or treat them like a Weed today.
Do not use Dandelions for food that come from treated lawns.

April 13, 2021; April 12, 2022; April 11,2023; April 9, 2024; April 8, 2025
Today is dedicated to Librarians, as well as all library staff and administrators. This Holiday is in recognition of the hard work and dedication of those who support our literary and reference needs. When you enter your local library, you will find highly skilled workers who will quickly and efficiently help your find information on just about any topic. Liberians are so knowledgeable, that sometimes you might think they’ve memorized all the books in the library. Their Dewey Decimal System number and the shelf where they will be located.
To celebrate this Holiday, visit your local library and while you are there, make sure to thank all the library workers you see.

History and Origin of “National Library Workers Day”:
On January 25, 2003, a proposal was made by the American Library Association Allied Professional Association (AMA-APA), to recognize Librarians and the entire library support staff. The proposal also sought better compensation, in the form of higher wages and benefits. This proposal resulted in National Library Workers Day, an annual holiday. To this day, the association continues to promote all library workers on an annual basis.
If you have been thinking about going on a road trip? Why not dust off Paper Road Maps and plan your trip?
Nowadays we use a GPS to go from point A to point B. GPS has all but completely outmoded the old Paper Road Maps we relied on. Our GPS has also taken a bite out of the popularity of Online Road Maps including Mapquest.
Paper Maps and Online Travel Maps are not totally obsolete. Paper Maps and Online Travel Maps still have a useful function, or they would not exist. You can find Paper Maps at State and local Travel Bureaus, State and local Visitor Centers, and at many Rest Stops along major Highways.
Read a Road Map Day encourages us to take a step back in time. Discovering the value that Road Maps still have. Our GPS gets us to our destination in the quickest and shortest manner. Is your trip about the destination or the journey? Road Maps can help us to identify and plot routes that makes the journey a pleasant experience. There is so much to discover along the way. You can identify small and interesting Towns and Historic Sites along the way that may be passed by on today’s Superhighways.
As we researched Read a Road Map Day, it became blatantly obvious that something was missing. If you are looking at a road map it’s likely because you are contemplating a trip. It only makes sense then, that there should be a “Take a Road Trip Day”. Surprisingly, there was no such Holiday.

Our research did not find the creator of this Holiday, or when it first began.
Thank you,
