5th August Underwear Day

The most popular display in our library is one that features underwear. Every year we put out books about underwear to celebrate this special day and by the end of the day, most will be gone. The children love to borrow them and snicker. The parents aren't as happy, but they can see that the children like the 'naughtiness ' of it all.

The first underwear dates back to prehistoric times — with humans wearing a loincloth.


See this 
fabulous book A History of Underwear  by Hannah Holt or 

A Brief History of Underpants  by Christine Van Zandt


I have written about this day several time before and I have a Pinterest page, so if you are looking to add to your collection look there.

Some of the newer books available are:
