We're The New York Public Library and we're here to inspire lifelong learning, advance knowledge, and strengthen our communities.
Thank you Jan Berenstain for 50 years of children’s literature! In honor of the great author who passed away last week, today’s flashback Friday honors our collective childhood memories with one of our favorite Berenstain Bears books, Big Bear, Small Bear.
You will be missed Mother Bear!
One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.
— Lewis Carroll
With all the birthdays this week, today’s Tumblr is getting “curiouser and curiouser!” Happy 180th Mr. Carroll!
“Poetry and Hums aren’t things which you get, they’re things which get you. And all you can do is go where they can find you.” - Winnie the Pooh
Wishing all of our 20,000 followers a very happy day for today is A. A. Milne’s birthday. Our deepest gratitude to Mr. Milne for creating the wondrous characters of Hundred Acre Wood, who you can see in reality if you stop by the Library’s centennial exhibition, where Pooh and his friends are enjoying hundreds of historic items.
Congratulations Mr. Myers! You can find the celebrated books of Walter Dean Myers at your local branch or online!
