Mar 17, 2025

Top ‘o the mornin’ and a happy St. Patrick’s Day from the Wyoming State Library! Are you rocking your finest green clothing? If not, beware of anyone who notices and tries to pinch you!

St. Patrick’s Day originated in Ireland and is now widely celebrated in the U.S. due to citizens with Irish ancestry and those who have immigrated from Ireland. Special food, parades, wearing green, and other fun traditions and festivities accompany this holiday that celebrates the patron saint of Ireland.

What better way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than to learn more about Ireland using ProQuest’s CultureGrams on GoWYLD? CultureGrams can be found among GoWYLD’s Student Research Resources and includes country reports that go beyond mere facts and figures to deliver a one-of-a-kind perspective on daily life and culture, including the background, customs, and lifestyles of the world’s people.

To access all you need to know about any country in the world, all you have to do is click on the continent on which the country you’d like to learn about is located, then select the name of the country from a list. At the beginning of your search, you can select the World Edition for a wider perspective, or the Kids Edition for a perspective from children living in your selected county. In addition to details and insight for each of the world’s countries, you can also find information on each of the states in the U.S. using the State Edition, as well as the provinces of Canada using the Province Edition.

Check out CultureGrams to learn more about Ireland or any other country, U.S. state, or Canadian province you’d like to know more about!
