Idaho public and school libraries are encouraged to celebrate “Two Lights for Tomorrow” on April 18-19, 2025. Two Lights for Tomorrow is a nationwide initiative to start the celebration of the 250th birthday of the United States of America. The famous ride of Paul Revere occurred overnight on April 18 – 19, 1775. Two Lights for Tomorrow commemorates that famous ride and uses the imagery of that shining light today as a uniting call to action for our citizens to celebrate and serve.
A toolkit of activities and ideas to participate in this nationwide campaign, including ideas for how you can light your library, can be found at https://america250.idaho.gov/events-calendar/two-lights-for-tomorrow/. If your library is planning a commemoration, please let ICfL Public Information Officer Donna Eggers know and send a photo if you can!
