If you feel your month is not represented in this list, which is not intended to be exhaustive, then post a comment. Clearly, we have a lot to celebrate as librarians.
With some regret, we could not find a Library Vendors' Month. Perhaps that month exists, and we simply could not find it at the top of the search results.
Has anyone created a calendar with every library month, week, and day on it?
