Happy National Dictionary Day!
Today we’re celebrating our favorite tool for curiosity...the dictionary! From “serendipity” to “sus,” words evolve right alongside us. Stop by the library (or open your favorite online dictionary) and explore a new word that inspires you.

All clovers could be called shamrocks, but not all shamrocks are clovers.
“Shamrock” is a common umbrella name people have given to plants with three leaflets.
Clover is one example; wood sorrel and black medic are also sold as potted plants on St. Patrick's Day.

Library lovers, we need your help. A recent executive order calls for the elimination of IMLS, the only federal agency that funds libraries nationwide. Without IMLS, many of the resources and programs we love could be at risk.

Happy Pi Day! Did you know that before Welsh mathematician William Jones began using the current symbol for pi in 1706, it was reffered to as “the quantity which when the diameter is multiplied by it, yields the circumference"? A change was needed! #PiDay #fhlib #CACommunitycolleges #fhlibevents
