Upcoming Holidays & Observances - September 2021


October 12 is Ada Lovelace Day, it’s an international celebration founded in 2009. Ada Lovelace was the first computer programmer. On this day we celebrate the achievements of women in STEM careers. Ada Lovelace Day also aims to increase the profile of women in STEM, elevate them as current role models who will encourage more girls to enter STEM-related careers, and support women already working in STEM. The ERS library has books available on the biography of Ada Lovelace and digital resources through the ERS Portal.
