The Islamic calendar is based around the lunar cycle, so the holy month of Ramadan does not always fall on the same dates each year. In 2023, Ramadan began following the sighting of the moon over Mecca on March 22. If you do not celebrate Ramadan, you can still use the next 30 days to focus your reading on Muslim literature. We currently have a display in the Kid Zone that is filled with options. And I'm going to highlight several new titles in this blog.
