Welcome to ON THIS DAY! Each day, we'll look at a few moments from history and popular culture. We'll show you where you can rediscover classic movies and music, or read more about great moments in history. We'll point you to e-books, downloadable and streamable music and film, and e-audio; and of course, we haven't forgotten about physical books or DVDs.

	On this day in 1885, the first issue of Good Housekeeping was published. The magazine has become well known for its "Seal of Approval," which was established in 1909; it represents the magazine's promise that an advertised product will live up to its claims. Current and back issues of Good Housekeeping are available at Zinio.
	On this day in 1895, Lorenz Hart was born. With his collaborator, Richard Rodgers, Hart wrote songs for more than 20 Broadway musicals and several movies. Many of those songs have become standards: "The Lady Is a Tramp," "Where or When," "Isn't It Romantic," "My Funny Valentine." Rodgers & Hart songbook albums are commonly recorded; Hoopla has such albums available for streaming by (among others) Sarah Vaughan, Bobby Short, and The Supremes.
	And on this day in 1903, Benjamin Spock was born. His book Baby and Child Care, first published in 1946, was a best-selling parenting guide, giving nervous parents the message that "you know more than you think you do." It's been frequently updated by Spock and (since his death in 1998) his collaborators. Spock and his book became controversial during the Vietnam War, against which Spock was a vocal protestor. Conservatives blamed Spock's advice for leading to the permissive parenting and rebellious nature of anti-war activists. The most recent edition of Baby and Child Care is available an e-book at OverDrive
