The Library will be closed on Presidents’ Day, Monday, February 17.
Fun fact: Did you know the official Federal holiday is actually called Washington’s Birthday? In 1885, Congress designated February 22, George Washington’s birthday, as a holiday for all federal workers making it the first federal holiday to honor an individual’s birth date. Nearly a century later, in 1971, the Uniform Monday Holiday Law changed the date to the third Monday in February. The position of the holiday between the birthdays of Washington and Abraham Lincoln gave rise to the popular name of Presidents’ Day. Today’s fun fact is brought to you by the National Archives (https://www.archives.gov/news/topics/washingtons-birthday).
While the Library is closed for the holiday, our digital collections are available 24/7. Download e-books, stream audiobooks, and e-magazine through the Ohio Digital Library where over 150 titles are available about U.S. Presidents!
