February 9th is Read In The Bathtub Day! Who knew?
The origins of reading in the bath probably emerged in Roman bathtubs, the first culture to truly embrace the culture of bathing. The owners of these facilities would often adorn them with scrolls in the walls or sometimes entire libraries. It was a way of consolidating everything into one location, presumably to cut costs. From our perspective, it is easy to imagine that Roman citizens were the first people to read in the bath. But whether they did or not remains to be proven.
Let's ponder over this at the Bear Creek Starbucks! We will be at the Starbucks stand alone store in the shopping center.

Sorry, there will not be a hot bath there! How about hot coffee or tea, if you like!
