Great moments in history and popular culture happen every day, and ON THIS DAY will share a few of them with you. We’ll also point you to related resources in our collection, helping you to discover classic films, musical favorites, and historical tidbits. The primary focus will be on our e-material – e-books, e-audio, and downloadable and streamable music and film – but physical books and DVDs will also be part of the fun.

	On this day in 1914, Frederick Fennell was born. Fennell was a conductor who worked for fifty years to increase the profile and the repertoire of the concert band (essentially, an orchestra without strings and, frequently, with saxophones). His 1950s recordings with his Eastman Wind Ensemble are still popular, and most have been re-issued on compact disc. Several of Fennell's recordings, featuring both band and orchestra, are available for streaming at Hoopla.
	On this day in 1919, Jean Craighead George was born. George wrote dozens of books for children, many of them about nature and the environment. She was awarded the Newbery Medal in 1973 for Julie of the Wolves, about an Inuit girl surviving in the Alaskan wilderness with the help of a pack of wolves. Julie of the Wolves is available as an e-book from OverDrive, or in print.
	And on this day and throughout July, we celebrate National Ice Cream Month. Stef Ferrari's Ice Cream Adventures offers more than 100 recipes for frozen treats in unexpected flavors like Sage Chocolate Chip and Sriracha Popcorn. It's available as an e-book from OverDrive, or in print.
