Did you know that we have just had Customer Service Week? And soon it will Family Learning Week? We will also be celebrating Global Entrepreneurship Week. I seem to have missed Chocolate Week (12th October) although I am looking forward to Farmhouse Breakfast Week (24th Jan 2010) and National Curry Week (22nd November). I'm also already clearing a month in my diary for National Bed Month, next March, although whether my long suffering employers will allow me a duvet month remains to be seen. There are a few which do not appeal - National Be Nice To Nettles Week (I kid you not - see www.nettles.org.uk - 19th May 2010) and World Maths week, to name but two.
From doughnuts to cancer research, owls to head lice, doodling to kidneys, there is a day, a week, or a month for almost everything you could possibly think of, and quite a few you probably couldn't. And as a dutiful librarian I do a display, get some books, organise a workshop, put up posters, but I can't help thinking, when is our week? Perhaps you have one already - if so let me know!
Yes we have storytelling week, World Book Day, poetry day, but none of them quite sum up what a wondrous place your library is! Other countries have library weeks - we should have one too! Write to the MLA! Write to CILIP! Write to your MP! Let's have a Library Week!
And for all you people from veggies to bacon lovers, science nuts and weathermen, gardeners and coffee-morning-cookie-cutters, it's payback time - we put your posters up, time for you to return the favour!
