• Julia Ward Howe, The Woman Behind Mother's Day (actually a plea for peace from the author of The Battle Hymn of the Republic) from the Librarians' Internet Index
• Honoring Mothers Around the World (and buying them all a card) from Hallmark
• The Big Read: The Largest Book Club Ever is announced (so we will all read something worthy) from ResourceShelf
  The entire city of Salisbury, England is reading the same children's book (or at least looking at the pictures) from Jen Robinson's Book Page
