Some states have created a state holiday that they call President's Day, but not Florida. In fact, Florida doesn't even recognize the Federal holiday and the libraries were open yesterday. The Federal holiday is called Washington's Birthday. But many people, including the national news media, seem to believe that the Federal holiday is called Presidents Day. It's not.
