It’s resolution time again! The
tradition of making resolutions at the beginning of a new year
is thought to date back 4,000 years to the ancient Babylonians.
Of course, the Babylonians celebrated the new year in March and
a common resolution for them was to return borrowed farm
equipment.
The Romans began celebrating the new year on January 1st and
they also had a tradition of making resolutions. A common
resolution in ancient Rome was to ask forgiveness from enemies
of the past year.
Here are some of the most popular New Year’s resolutions we
currently make - followed by the call number(s) where you can
