June - Events in History

With the help of a teacher's calendar this June's display covers a variety of events including: authors, artists, and inventors that have helped shape our world. From America's first walk in space to yes, Donut Day on June 5th. Although I know of no known donut postage stamp, there is a donut cancel. So check out June 5th, and see what organization created Donut Day! And please enjoy browsing through the many other notable events for the month of June. —Marianne Cariddi
