National Hat Day!

Hi All,

Back yet again (and again, and again, and again, etc) for another blog post. So I was sitting at the reference desk the other day and I saw a patron with a most charming hat. It was a white hat, with some plumage attached to the right side. The feather - at least that is what I 'think' it was - was white with a streak of grey and black on it. At the end of the feather though was a sprinkling of red which gave the hat a very nice splash of color. Quite interesting to look at - now add the fact that it was about 90 degrees that day and no wonder why said patron was wearing a hat. It kept her cool even in the dog days of summer.

So, how does this have anything to do with a blog entry for a public library referece desk? Well, I was thinking of various hat links - for example 'National Hat Day', where to buy cool hats, the history of hats, etc... So here we go:

Did you know that every January 15th is National Hat Day? Didn't think so but to find out more about National Hat Day click here. Click here for regular 'hats' - like the ones various sports teams wear (think baseball, football, basketball, hockey...)

Click here to find out about cowboy hats - link is from wikipedia, but it is fairly comprehensive.

Finally, click here for a link to the library catalog that connects you to all things 'hats'.

Regards,
