Long Live Pi

Pi Day is on March 14th, and any day that combines fun, education, and pie is a day worth celebrating! Pi, also known by the Greek letter “π,” is a constant value used in math that represents the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is just about 3.14….15…9265359… (and so on). Not only that, but the fourteenth of March is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, so all together it’s nothing short of a mathematician’s delight.

Celebrate Pi Day with some of the titles below, and with our Grab & Go Kit for K-3 that is available starting this Friday, March 12th. When you call to pick up a kit, ask our Circulation staff for the “Pi Day K-3 Kit.”
