Happy Easter
The Chinchilla Library would like to wish everyone a very happy Easter. We hope the Bunny finds you all safe and well.
Please be advised that the library will be closed for the whole weekend, and will not reopen until Tuesday 25th.
On that note, you've no doubt realised how quickly easter snuck up this year. There is a reason for that- here is what we've found out:
1. Easter is based on the lunar calender and is always the first sunday after the first full moon after the autumn equinox.
2. Therefore, it can actually be one day earlier (march 22)
3. The last time it was this early (march 23) was in 1913- 95 years ago. The next time it will be this early is 2228- 220 years from now.
4. The last time is was 22 march was 1818. The next time will be 2285- 227 years from now.
So this is the earliest Easter anyone alive will ever see again!
On that happy note: Drive safe, don't eat too much chocolate, and we'll see you again soon.
