1. Librarians go viral! This amazing quote is printed on a carpet at the Gungahlin Library in Australia. The folks at Duke University Medical Center Library posted it to their Facebook page, where it got picked up and reposted by best-selling author Neil Gaiman, library lover and source of the quote. Authors, libraries, librarians - it’s perfect!

  2. I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.

    — JK Rowling, author of the ridiculously popular Harry Potter series, who is celebrating a birthday today. Happy birthday, Jo. And happy birthday to Harry Potter, who is also celebrating his birthday today! Want to give them both a birthday gift? Head to NYPL and take out some Harry Potter stuff!
