The Post Road Library was full of gold, leprechauns, and shamrocks this March! In keeping with the St. Patrick's Day holiday, several displays depicted the gold at the end of the rainbow and the luck of the shamrocks. Books being the ultimate golden treasure, of course!
For the school break last Friday, we hosted a Leprechaun Laughternoon. Families were able to participate in a myriad of activities including; Pin the Gold onto the Rainbow, Lucky Leprechaun Scavenger Hunt, Building Leprechaun Traps, a St. Patrick's Day-themed Would You Rather game, and more. It brought quite a crowd in for the afternoon.
Did you know the history of the shamrock?
Four-leaf clovers have been around for ages, and their supposed lucky powers are talked about in centuries-old legends. In the early days of Ireland, Celtic priests known as Druids carried three-leaf clovers, or shamrocks, in the belief that with their help, they could see evil spirits approaching and be able to escape. Four-leaf clovers, then, were Celtic charms, offering magical protection and warding off bad luck. Children in the Middle Ages believed they might be able to see fairies if they carried a four-leaf clover. Source: https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/9048424252042096287/9002069906491488740
May the luck of the Shamrock be with you all!
