Daily Holidays - September 6

National Coffee Ice Cream Day If you are a coffee lover and a lover of ice cream, than this is the food holiday you look forward to every year. National Coffee Ice Cream Day is observed annually on September 6th.

This creamy and caffeinated ice cream treat is sure to satisfy your taste buds. There are those that are not a fan of cold coffee, however when it is whipped with cream and sugar, it takes on a magical taste of it’s own.

Coffee ice cream has been around for many years. In 1869, coffee ice cream was used in parfait and a recipe appeared in a 1919 cookbook for an Egg Coffee, consisting of cream, crushed ice and coffee syrup. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/

National Read a Book Day The first celebration of Read a Book Day was around the end of the first decade of the 2000’s and was almost certainly the idea of a librarian, probably one who was encouraging youngsters to read a book.

On Read a Book Day, it’s not compulsory to read a whole book but the day serves as inspiration to people to read a section of a book they particularly enjoyed, to read with children, to donate a book to a children’s school library, or to host a book reading party.

Although the day was probably thought of with print books in mind, e-books are equally suitable for celebrating Read a Book Day. The main goal is to encourage reading, as both fiction and non-fiction books open up huge unknown vistas to enquiring minds.

Taking the opportunity to enjoy some time out of the day to relax and read is good for the soul and the mind. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/read-a-book-day/
