International Day of Peace

Join Wright Library and people around the world to focus on possibilities for Peace. On September 21^st, The International Day of Peace, we will put together a community puzzle, highlight Dayton Literary Peace Prize books, and invite visitors to post love notes to a country or part of the world they hold dear.  Add a heart sticker to our world map, then write a good wish, prayer, memory, etc. for a country of origin, beloved city, war ravaged land, home of family or friends, or someplace else on your mind.

The International Day of Peace is observed around the world each year on September 21^st. The United Nations General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. The theme for The International Day of Peace in 2018 is The Right to Peace – The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70. The theme celebrates the 70^th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
