Here’s @DollyParton reading “Coats of Many Colors” to kids at the @librarycongress . Of course it wouldn’t be Dolly if she didn’t break into song. Definitely one of my favorite moments at the Library. Thank you @dollyslibrary for helping millions of kids worldwide.

It was our honor to welcome @DouglasEmhoff who will also be making history on Jan 20th as the nation’s first @SecondGentleman . He visited the @librarycongress to learn more about previous Second Spouses. We hope we offered him some inspiration. #Inauguration2021

I'm so incredibly honored and humbled to be the first @SecondGentleman of the United States. As we countdown to Inauguration Day, I've been doing my homework—and looking to the past for inspiration.

Meet 8-year-old Adam Coffey of San Clemente, CA who is Librarian of the Day. His letter inspired me to create a children’s Readers Card.
