Pencil Day is a holiday in celebration of the first patent on the modern pencil. Hymen Lipman was issued a patent in 1858 for a pencil with an eraser. March 30, 2008, marks the 150th anniversary of the modern pencil, and many participating libraries and businesses distribute free pencils in honor of this significant achievement. The pencil is a writing implement that can be used to write and draw. Pencils are usually made of wood with a graphite or charcoal center, though modern inventions have also created plastic mechanical pencils that can be replenished and use almost indefinitely.
