Celebrate Patriot Week!
by Christine Hage 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Please forgive me if I've already posted this. Patriot Week renews America’s spirit by celebrating the First Principles, Founding Fathers and other Patriots, vital documents and speeches, and flags that make America the greatest nation in world history. Many of our current holidays have become overly commercialized or have lost their deeper meaning. We need to invigorate our appreciation and understanding of America’s spirit. The week is anchored by the key dates of September 11 (the anniversary of the terrorists attacks) and September 17 (Constitution Day, the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution). Co-created by Michigan Judge Michael Warren and his then 10-year-old daughter Leah, Patriot Week has captured the imagination and support of citizens across the nation. Libraries can participate by sponsoring book displays, reading lists, reading groups, book discussions, author presentations, panel discussions, and similar activities connected to the themes of Patriot Week. For more information, visit www.PatriotWeek.org <http://www.patriotweek.org/> or contact Patriot Week at cbassett(a)patriotweek.org.
