In addition to the traditional holidays of Mother's Day and Memorial Day, there are many more celebratory days in May! 

Use these "holidays" as inspiration to built a display of books, audiobooks, and DVDs, both at your library and on social media:

• May 11: Eat What You Want Day — create a tantalizing display of recipe books for delicious desserts
• May 16: Biographers Day — display biographies on musicians, and Ron Chernow's Hamilton alongside a CD of the original Broadway cast recording
• May 17: National Bike To Work Day — bring together bicycle repair books for people who are dusting off a bike that's been in the garage all winter
• May 23: World Turtle Day — gather materials on both endangered tortoises and even Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles to shellebrate
• May 24: International Tiara Day — set on the anniversary of the Queen Victoria's birthday, created as a day when everyone who wishes can wear a tiara for a day and feel like royalty; your display could include books featuring queens and princesses alongside DVDs of the TV series Victoria and The Crown
• May 25: Towel Day — fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series carry a towel in honor of the author Douglas Adams:

  "A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value -- you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal; you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough."   ~ Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
