Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is a combined event that is annually observed in the United States on September 17. This event commemorates the formation and signing of the Constitution of the United States on September 17, 1787. It also recognizes all who, by coming of age or by naturalization, have become US citizens. The president may issue each year a proclamation calling on government officials within the nation to display the country's flag on government buildings on Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, as well as inviting the people to observe this event in schools, churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate displays or activities.
Please notice the library book display in front of the elevators and in the library. We also have a Constitution quiz available for library visitors today to check their knowledge of one of our country's most important documents.
The National Constitution Center in Historic Philadelphia is America's most interactive history museum.
