National Book Lovers Day History, Significance, Facts, Theme & Celebration Ideas:
On August 9th, we were not able to find the president of the United States at the National Book Festival in Washington D.C. Although, we had been invited by the White House to attend, we were requested to attend an event at a bookstore in McLean, Virginia. Unfortunately, as with most National Book Lovers Day events, the day’s schedule was very full. The president was in meetings and press meetings and we were unable to see him.
We did, however, witness firsthand, the dedication of some National Book Lovers Day participants. Two elderly ladies, Mildred Loving and Phoebe Cussler stood with signs that said: “Where was your love, my friend? When was it promised that I could have a good book?” They were met with cheers and smiles by several hundred people. The ladies were met with a standing ovation when they finished their speech.
In an interesting twist of fate, these two elderly women happened to be visiting Dulles Airport for a fact-finding mission. When they entered the airport, they were greeted with a sign that read: “Books are Where the Thieves Don’t Thrive.” Apparently, the patrons of this popular reading place did not want to be bothered with loitering out on the streets for hours. To make up for their lack of spunk, the employees of Dulles International Airport decided that the cost of security was too high and they would give them a free lift on an airplane.
A quick search of the internet reveals other amazing stories regarding National Book Lovers Day. An employee of Disneyland, which is located in Anaheim, California, was fired for throwing a party in the office. The event turned into a riot when police were called in to break it up. Another interesting tale involves the National Book Lovers Day celebration in Iowa. Police were called to the scene to restore order after a middle-aged couple got into a heated argument over whether or not former President George W. Bush should have been impeached. When the dispute escalated, police had to bring in a bomb disposal unit to check out a suspicious item that was left near the couple.
National Book Lovers Day is actually an annual event to coincide with the month of April, which is National Book Lovers Day. Although it is simply a day to give book lovers a chance to express their love for reading, the truth is that this special event was created to celebrate the importance of the book and the bibliophiles who have created it. There are many interesting facts about the origins of this day and some fascinating behind-the-scenes facts as well.
