Nauru Edition
World Pocket Notebook Day leads today's complete edition for Nauru.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for lists, sketches, phone numbers, recipes, reminders, ideas, and the old power of writing something down.
A day that did not exist before 2001, when Australia opened its first offshore detention center on Nauru. The center has been opened, closed, and reopened. It is the most controversial institution on the island. On this day, advocates call for its closure and the government notes the revenue it provides. The debate is the same every year. Only the number of detainees changes.
A day for the person who listens to the problem, finds the part, and knows whether it can be saved.
A day for friendly disputes, season hopes, old victories, new lineups, and the bonding power of a harmless debate.
