Hallelujah for Knowledge and for the Honor of Language and Ideas. And Books.

As of yesterday, it's [National Library Week] here in the U.S. Woo, libraries! \o/ I, for one, am a fan of libraries. *g*

Libraries, after all, are where all the cool kids hang out.




:D

And check [ this link] for adorable pictures of President Obama and the whole First Family reading to kids at the White House Easter Egg Roll yesterday. ♥

Today's poem is related to the above cool kid. If you haven't already seen Maira Kalman's [The Inauguration. At Last.], you absolutely must. And if you have seen it, take another look. It's utterly gorgeous. (This poem is not copied here because it's as much a visual experience as a literary one. Seriously, it's breathtaking.)
