Teen Think Tank: National Ice Cream Month
You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!! Did you know there's an entire month to celebrate ice cream? Me neither! In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month as well as a day to celebrate ice cream: the third Sunday of July, which is July 17th this year.
Teen Think Tank: Independence Day
Happy Independence Day! This is a time when we think about our forefathers and the difficult work they did to establish our country as a free nation. Since then, America has long been a place for people from all countries and backgrounds to come and pursue their own independence, in their own way. Dive into our collection for some amazing reads (and listens!) that explore stories based on the diverse backgrounds and experiences of America and its people.
Teen Think Tank: National Candy Month
What sweeter way to kick off the first month of summer than by celebrating National Candy Month? Candy and treats get recognized all month long for their contributions to the way we celebrate together.
Teen Think Tank: National Adopt a Cat Month
Did you know that June is National Adopt a Cat Month? The National Adopt a Cat Month was formed by American Humane 45 years ago in order to encourage people to stop buying cats and, instead, adopt them from shelters. The month selected for the adoption drive was June, since a lot of cats tend to reproduce during this month — and, since a cat can birth up to seven kittens, it’s not a surprise that most of them often end up in animal shelters.
