March is Women’s History Month, a multiorganizational event commemorating and encouraging the study, observance, and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. Using the Oxford English Dictionary, see if you can find the first usage of the term “herstory.”
HINT: You can use the Oxford English Dictionary with your library card for word definitions and etymologies. On the site, go to Research, Popular Topics, Dictionaries & Encyclopedias, and then Oxford English Dictionary.
March is also a great time of the year for developing readers to practice their skills. Did you know the library offers Welcome to Reading kits for checkout, with books and activities for supporting children’s reading development?
HINT: On our website, select Welcome to Reading under the Kids > Also in Kids heading. That resource page offers tips, recommendations, activities, and book lists. And the link for Reading Kits!
