This is February 20th. It is designated as Clean Out Your Bookcase Day.
I cannot determine the origin of the day. I suppose some bibliophile got a wild hair and just declared it enough til it stuck.
Anyway, I am the proud owner of a single six foot cherry finish book case I've had a long time which I intend to give a good cleaning in the immediate future.

I store books, a few personal items, and my collection of marine animal glass sculpture my Mama gave me back in her cruise days.
I have been known to take everything out, dust it off, wipe down the shelves really well, then replace everything to it's place periodically.
The glass statuary ususally gets a good soapy soak in a plastic wash basin padded with a towel.
I just didn't know that there were people out there who have an entire day set aside for it all.
