It's Flag Day today!
Today we celebrate #FlagDay, a powerful reminder of our nation's resilience, courage & unwavering spirit.
On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress first adopted our flag. Centuries later, on Aug. 3, 1949, Congress officially approved Flag Day as a National Observance.

Did you know that illiteracy is a major problem in the U.S.? Reading and writing are the foundation for building skills essential to improving in school, as well as creating an interest in becoming a lifelong learner, and libraries are here to help! buff.ly/sNsrdJy

Today we are wishing a Happy Birthday to Maurice Sendak, who was born #onthisdate in 1928.
If you've not read Where The Wild Things Are, read it today. Or if you've not read it for a while, read it today.
And then let the wild rumpus start.
