Many people (especially Moms!) feel Mother’s Day should be celebrated every day, but the official holiday always falls on the second Sunday in May; this year, May 12 is Mother’s Day. How did the holiday come into being? The celebration owes its existence to the tireless efforts of Philadelphia resident, Anna Jarvis.
Who doesn’t love May? In May, we finally convince ourselves that we are looking at winter in the rear view mirror. Longer days, warm sunny weather and blooming buds are energizing, inspiring us to attempt new things and take on new challenges. In the spirit of this month of rebirth and renewal, why not read a recently released book or explore the works of a first time author? The Scarsdale Library’s shelves are packed with brand new titles, as fresh as spring itself. Exciting new worlds await you. Click on the book jackets below to be taken to catalog links.
