Obamas Read to Kids at New Chicago Library
Description
Barack and Michelle Obama made a magical surprise visit to the new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center, reading “Where the Wild Things Are” to excited students—and even acting out scenes from the story. Barack shared his own childhood love of libraries, urging kids to see the space as their own, full of endless books to explore. The library, featuring a vibrant mural and 3,000 books personally selected by the Obamas, embodies their vision of community connection over archival research. Opening day was electric, with fans lining up for commemorative cards—and special guests like LeVar Burton and Mychal Threets from “Reading Rainbow” adding to the joyful celebration.
