What is Pi Day? Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and eat pie (or cookies which are equally as round!)

Leonard Library celebrates Pi Day  with the Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins a giveaway book, an easy recipe how to make your own cookies and construction paper to make a set of "chocolate chip cookies" to play.

The Doorbell Rang tells the simple story of Sam and Victoria, who were just about to sit down and enjoy fresh cookies when two friends arrive and the four children divide up the cookies four ways. Soon, the doorbell rings again, and then again, and each time the number of cookies per person dwindles.

Grab & Go Craft Kits will be available at our  Leonard Branch lobby throughout the week until they are gone!
