Today is National Creativity Day!

Today is a day to celebrate the artists in our life and take time to explore our own creativity.

Whether you consider yourself a painter, singer, musician, designer, dancer, filmmaker, or any other type of creator, this day is for you! But you don't have to be an artist to celebrate Creativity Day! We all possess the power of our imagination to observe the world around us and express ourselves in creative ways.

We at the Clayton State Library are taking today to celebrate everyone who has joined us at one of our Crafternoons and created something new of their own.

But creativity isn't just about the product. Our Crafternoon attendees report feelings of calm, peace, and decreased stress. Make sure you're following us here so you can join us next time!

Today we honor the U.S. military personnel who lost their lives in service to our country.

Memorial Day is commonly marked by parades and ceremonies and the decoration of fallen soldiers' graves with flags and flowers.

The association of poppies with the holiday began with a poem, "In Flanders Fields," by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian poet, soldier, and physician who was moved by the sight of the bright-red flowers blooming across the fields which held the graves of many who had fought alongside him.
