Mechanical Pencil Day
Mechanical Pencil Day is celebrated each year on July 5 all around the world. Mechanical pencils have so many uses in the classroom and workplace. Even if you use pens for all your written work, we often do draft calculations and writings with pencils to avoid making an error in our final copy. While the world prefers digital forms of communication, mechanical pencils make writing and design easier and add a personal touch to them. Mechanical Pencil Day celebrates this marvelous invention and encourages more people to take up the lost art of writing with pencils. Celebrate the day by penning heartfelt notes to your loved ones with a mechanical pencil.
