Dictionary Day at VPL!

Did you know Dictionary Day is celebrated every year on October 16th—the birthday of Noah Webster, the famous American lexicographer? In 1806, his groundbreaking dictionary paved the way for what we now know as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

This year, Dictionary Day falls on Thursday, October 16, 2025—and we’re celebrating the power of words right here at the library! 🎉

👉 Stop by, look up our Word of the Day in the dictionary, tell a librarian the definition, and you’ll win a sweet treat*! 🍬

Come join us in celebrating words, language, and the joy of learning! 📝💡
