Remember, remember the 5th of November...
Did the phrase "Remember, remember the 5th of November" sound familiar to you? The full poem and its history are a reminder of treason and espionage, and also the inspiration for Bonfire Night in England and the comic and film V for Vendetta. We don't have a bonfire night in the US, but we do have Daylight Savings Time, and while we are remembering important things, don't forget to change your clocks, or "Fall Back" one hour on November 6th. We get an extra hour of sleep!
Check out all of the great things in the McCollum High School Library throughout October and November. We hope to see you at one of our events!
