Today is National Pie Day.
This is not to be confused with Pi Day,
which is held on March 14th.
National Pie Day was first recognized by Charlie Papzaian of
Boulder, Colorado when he declared his birthday as National Pie Day. National Pie Day has now been sponsored by
the American Pie Council (APC) for
almost 30 years and is held annually on January 23rd.
In celebration of National Pie Day we have highlighted some great pie books from our collection.
