Chase's Calendar of Events 2016  is a staff favorite. It not only helps you figure out when the date for a movable feast like Easter is, it also helps to create themes throughout the year for displays, programs, etc. We discovered that National Bookmobile Day is April 15, author Jackie Collins' sister Joan's birthday is May 23, and the anniversary of the premier of "Doctor Who"  was Nov 23, 1963. It's full of fun information.
