National Lager Day
- To celebrate, head to your favorite pub and enjoy a refreshing brew of your favorite lager or try brewing your own! Lager yeast first emerged in the Holy Roman Empire due to a spontaneous mutation or hybridization effect. As a new variety of beer, it often had to be produced outside city walls because it faced opposition from the Catholic Church.

This system organizes books on library shelves in a specific and repeatable order making it easy to find any book and return it to its proper place.
