In my department, we're preparing for Constitution Day on Wednesday--printing stickers and buttons, boxing up pocket Constitutions, creating activity booklets, updating our website. Last year, we handed out hundreds of pocket Constitutions in a matter of hours at the Political Science department, and this year we've already begun receiving requests for them. This year, we're also participating in a community event at the local Barnes and Noble, which is designed to draw grade-school kids and their parents. We’ve even got a giant replica print of the Constitution (with extra blank but “antique-looking” pages) for the kids to sign.

Here are some of the many resources available online:

• Search for great resources from the Constitution Center!
• Peggy Garvin recently posted a great summary of the purpose and origin of Constitution Day on LLRX.com.
• If you're looking for last-minute display ideas, here's a great webpage at the Minnesota State University of Mankato (recommended to me by Shari Laster, Gov Docs librarian at the University of Akron—thanks, Shari!).
• Also, here are some sources for pocket constitutions and related government publications (great giveaways!).
• And we printed our replica based on the gorgeous images on NARA’s Charters of Freedom website.
• See more primary resources at the Library of Congress website.
• The Constitution Day website also has trivia and great resources for making activity booklets, etc.

I'm interested to hear what your library has planned for the event--please comment below and let us know what you're doing, where you found resources, etc. Are you planning events at the library, on a campus, in the community?
