Calendar of Events March, 2012

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. SUESS!

In honor of the 108th birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Born Mar 2, 1904), the Library System will be featuring special programs at the Glades Road Branch, Greenacres Branch, Jupiter Branch, Main Library Okeechobee Blvd. Branch, Wellington Branch, and West Boca Branch during the first week of March.

Ted Geisel, a political cartoonist, turned beloved author of children's books was known for his whimsical style of illustration, and sing-song surreal-istic rhyming. The lyrical quality of his writing became required reading for generations of young readers. Among his most famous works are “The Cat in the Hat,” “Green Eggs and Ham,” “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!,” “Fox in Socks,” and “Horton Hears a Who!” Many of his stories have been adapted to television, movies, video games, and even a Broadway musical.

Check the calendar listings to find a program near you.
