APRIL IS...

April is a month chock-full of various national observances; here is a sampling:


ALCOHOL AWARENESS MONTH


April is the month designated to carefully observe one's alcohol intake. And others', as well. Drink responsibly!

CELEBRATE DIVERSITY MONTH


We both embrace AND celebrate the wonder of diversity in a special way throughout the fourth month of the calendar year.

HUMOR MONTH

Laugh yourself silly as you celebrate National Humor Month this April :- ) Ha, HA HA, HA HA HA HA!!!

NATIONAL LAWN CARE MONTH

Get out there and mow that grass! Rip out those pesky dandelions! And make your neighbors GREEN with envy at your lushly manicured blades! April is National Lawn Care Month!

POETRY MONTH



Discover your inner bard while tackling iambic pentameter, or check out a book of poetry from our collection to help celebrate National Poetry Month.

NATIONAL GARDENING MONTH




With the economy still in a terrible state, many people are discovering the joy of cultivating their own food with backyard gardens. Whether edible or ornamental, plant something and watch it grow this April as we celebrate National Gardening Month! (full disclosure: it's really Landscape Architecture Month, but "Gardening Month" sounds better...)

NATIONAL PET MONTH



Walk your dog! Wash your rabbit! Or stare balefully at your goldfish! Do SOMETHING for your best non-human buddy, because April is NATIONAL PET MONTH! (kind of the same thing--April is really Pet First Aid Awareness Month, but that sounded slightly distressing to me...)
