Did you know that September 28th is  Ask a Stupid Question Day?  No matter how much we are told that there are no stupid questions, there are times for each of us when we feel like a question that we need to ask might just qualify. Well, today is the day to get any of those questions you have been too afraid or bashful to ask off your mind.

To get things started here are some books that offer unusual facts, crazy questions, and some questions that just about everyone has but are afraid to ask out loud. If none of these books answer your questions, then please ask at the reference desk and we will find you an answer!
