Dreaming of cooler temps and rain!

Well, it is September and I personally hope the month brings cooler temperatures and more rain. Here is a fun fact about the month. September begins on the same day of the week as December every year, because there are 91 days separating September and December, which is a multiple of seven (the number of days in the week). No other month ends on the same day of the week as September in any year.

Don’t forget the 4th annual Friends of the Library 5K Fun Run Walk or Crawl will be September 17, 2011 at City Park on Texas Street.
