Presidents' Day
The Library will be closed on February 16 in observance of Presidents Day. Presidents Day is a federal holiday officially designated as "Washington's Birthday". Originally established in 1885 to honor George Washington's Feb. 22 birthday, it now popularly honors all U.S. presidents, particularly Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is also in February.
