📜 Celebrate Constitution Week from September 17 – 23 with the DAR 📜
Celebrated annually through the week of September 17th to the 23rd, Constitution Week, was adopted by Congress and signed into law on August 2, 1956. Â It is the commemoration of America’s most important document.
The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), founded over 125 years ago, began the Constitution Week celebrations. Â They have been commemorating and honoring the United States Constitution for years as a document vital to all Americans in maintaining their liberties, freedoms, and inalienable rights.
Constitution Week celebrations:
- Emphasize citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution
- Inform people that the Constitution is the basis for America’s great heritage and the foundation for our way of life.
- Encourage the study of the historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787.
We invite you to celebrate Constitution Week with the Williamson County Public Library and our local DAR Old Glory Chapter. Start off by watching episode 79 of our Library show, Not Just Books, for special guests to learn more about our Constitution.
Get your Constitution’s Birthday Make and Take packets for children, free at the Library while supplies last. Each packet contains a craft, a Preamble Jigsaw Puzzle to make, a 19th Amendment Cootie Catcher, and an American flag donated by the Old Glory Chapter.
Make and Take Packets are available through our Holds-2-Go curbside service from 9 AM to 10 AM, Monday through Saturday, or by visiting the  Children’s Department at the Main Library after 10a.  Share your completed crafts and packet activities by tagging #ConstitutionWeek, #OldGloryChapterDAR, and #wcpltn. We’d love to see your activities on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
For added inspiration while enjoying your packets, watch one of the  Constitution Week Story Times, read by local members of Daughters of the American Revolution Old Glory Chapter:
