🇺🇸📚 Happy Presidents’ Day! 📚🇺🇸

Today, February 16th, we celebrate Presidents’ Day—a holiday honoring the leaders who have served as Presidents of the United States, and especially our first president, George Washington. 🎩✨

Presidents’ Day is a ...wonderful opportunity to reflect on the history of our nation, the founding of American democracy, and the leaders who helped shape the United States—from Washington to Lincoln and beyond. 🏛️📖

Want to learn more about the presidents, the Revolutionary War, or the Civil War? Stop by the library and check out books that bring American history to life!

📍 History is waiting for you at your local Rapides Parish Library branch.
