Tomorrow is Constitution Day!
Constitution Day commemorates the September 17, 1787 signing of the United States Constitution by delegates to the Constitutional Convention.
To celebrate, the Library has created a book display of relevant resources, printed out some fun Constitution-themed crossword puzzles and word searches, and has pocket Constitutions for the taking!
If you are off-campus today, don’t worry. You can do the crossword puzzles and word searches from home!
And you can always access a pocket Constitution online via these sources:
If you’d like to learn more about the Constitution Day book display, see the materials listed below. These materials can be checked out by members of our community so if you see something you are interested in, contact circulation@mitchellhamline.edu.
Display and bibliography developed by Kelsey Schmidt and Steve Liska.
