Other things happening in October:
Mean Girls Appreciation Day is October 3
A mid-2000s comedy classic, "Mean Girls" has become ingrained in pop culture. Not only did the movie give us adages like "On Wednesdays, we wear pink" or "Stop trying to make 'fetch' happen!" But it also solidified Tina Fey, the film's writer, as a comedic genius. To celebrate Mean Girls Appreciation Day, throw on an extra large pink polo shirt and enjoy watching the movie.
If you want to watch it again for the 100th time, or want to see it for the first time, you can find it at the library under DVD MEA.
