Bookworm List: Leap for Leap Day
Next Wednesday is Leap Day. We're celebrating a little early Thursday with a program all about animals that leap ( kangaroos, frogs, and rabbits). It's at 4pm for school age-children, grades K-5. Please sign up at our websites, Library Events .
Now why do we have an extra day in February every four years? Well, a leap year is needed every four years to keep our calender in line with the solar year ( or length needed for the earth to obit the sun , which is 365 1/4 days.) How do we determine what year is a leap year? Well, obviously the year has to be divisible by 4 ( except in years divisible by 100. But century years divisible by 400, like 2000 and 2400, there will be leap years). So this year and 2016 will be leap years. As those born on the 29th ( known as leaplings), most will choose to celebrate on March 1st or February 28 when it is not a leap year ( or they can also wait four years, making them younger than they really are. So a person born Feb 29th, 2008 can say they are 4 ( actual age) or 1 ( leap age).
Looking for ways to celebrate Leap Day? Well, my suggestion is animals that leap. So here are some recommended books featuring leaping animals.
