National Read a Book Day was created to encourage people to read a complete book — or at minimum to begin one — as a deliberate counterbalance to the fragmented reading that digital media has normalized. Swaziland Independence Day marks September 6, 1968, when Swaziland — renamed Eswatini in 2018 by King Mswati III to its precolonial Swazi name — gained independence from Britain. Bonaire Flag Day is a public holiday in Bonaire, one of the ABC islands of the Dutch Caribbean, marking the date of the island’s flag. Fight Procrastination Day was created to encourage people to confront one specific task they have been actively avoiding — the one that has been on the to-do list the longest.
