First Library Card

I remember getting my first library card and having to sign my name on it.

It had a distinct sound when the librarian pressed the button to take the picture.

Sendak was born on this day in 1928.

I love The Raven by Poe. I try to read it every other year or so around Halloween. Being from Minnesota I find the above cartoon amusing.
