The days are getting longer, early flowers are emerging in all their glorious colors, birds are excitedly chasing earthworms, the weather vacillates from sunny to rainy in mere seconds, and outdoor markets are starting to reopen everywhere. It’s beginning to look a lot like springtime in the Willamette Valley! March ushers in the official beginning of spring and offers a whole host of things for us to celebrate such as St Patrick’s Day, March Madness, and of course, who can forget Spring Break? If you enjoy wildly unpredictable weather, green grass, baby ducklings, and blooming flora such as daffodils, crocuses, tulips, and daphne, this is the season for you! So get on out there and chase a few rainbows and while you’re at it, check out one of these spring-related titles available from the University Libraries and listed on our WU Reads Reading Guide.
