Library closed today

[Doyle Phillips]

Escuela Normal is closed so too the library. I assume it will be open tomorrow but will advise if it closed for a few days. (Perhaps you know the schedule?)

Most government offices are closed today, as are some businesses. It's the "descanso laboral correspondiente a Día de la Constitución." Constitution Day is actually Thursday, but is celebrated today to give people a "puente."

Don, you are correct but it is also Día de la Candelaria that is being celebrated today.

Día de la Constitución – Constitution Day in Mexico
In 2015 Constitution Day falls on Thursday, and will be celebrated on Monday, February 2. Government offices, Banks, postal services, schools and some businesses will be close Monday in Celebration. Major supermarket chains and deparment stores will be open as usual.

True enough, Señor Duck. However, Candelaria (in English, Candlemas) isn't an official holiday, so government offices and so on don't close for it.

For the record, it's also Groundhog Day and James Joyce's birthday. Since it's partly cloudy, there's a good chance Joyce's ghost won't see his shadow, and spring will come early.
