Hello Library Land. Today we have National Pasta Day. I love pasta. Did you know Americans eat about 20 pounds of pasta per person each year, that's alot of carbs.
Spaghetti, penned, and rotini are among the most popular pasta shapes in the United States.
According to the Encyclopedia of Pasta( yes it does exist) 310 specific kinds of pasta identified by over 1300 names have been documented.
Also October is National Pasta month. So go enjoy your pasta. Until next time have a great day!!!

Good morning from the library!!! Today is Universal Music Day!!! Here are some fun facts!!! Music history dates as far back as human history. Historians tend to believe that music actually predates language in the development of human culture. Music is the Universal part of nature. Birds sing their songs in the morning and evenings. Humpback whales offer a musical sound and so many other things in nature.
Couple of this to help celebrate is by learning to play an instrument or create a music day Playlist on Spotify or Apple Music.
Some benefits of music it promotes focus, concentration and memory, it can reduce depression and anxiety and help manage and ease pain. So however you celebrate music day I hope it lifts you up and brings you joy. Have a wonderful weekend.

Today October 7th is National Frappe Day!!! This is a Hallmark of Greek culture from the 1950s onwards. Frappes offer a great opportunity to get that coffeehouse feeling without having to leave your home or spend alot of money. Start with cup of brewed coffee that has been allowed to cool. Then add milk and ice. Blend together and add delicious flavorings. So go grap a Frappe today and enjoy!!!

Fun facts from the library October 5th, 2026. Today is National Do Something Nice Day. It doesn't have to be dramatic or risky. It can simply be the inspiration behind performing small and random acts of kindness that can add up to making the world a better place!!! So compliment someone, thanking someone like a doorman. Say nice things that might go unsaid on typical days. We should be doing this everyday but especially today. Have a nice day!!!
