Hoof and Horn

"National Unicorn Day on April 9 each year celebrates the mythical horse-like creature with a single, pointed horn growing from the center of its forehead.

The unicorn heraldry is emblematic of the Scottish heritage and a valuable artefact denoting the ancient beliefs and value of this magical creature."

Dol dhan bhòrd-leabhar

Tartan Day is celebration of Scottish heritage and the cultural contributions of Scottish and Scottish-diaspora figures of history.

"Dol dhan bhòrd-leabhar" is Scottish Gaelic for Go To The Library (according to Google), as this week is National Library Week, which is always the second full week in April.

I love the library!

As has been mentioned in the past, I'd be without any money if I purchased all of the books that I've read recently!

I attend free lectures, and use the 3-D printer, and help with jigsaw puzzles.

I check out books, I use apps to get ebook and audiobooks.

Chat up a library worker when you are next in a library, and ask about what's new: you'll be amazed at what is going on there!
