It's International Hug a #Librarian Day!🫂

I had to escape in drawing the details. Hope these colorful ornaments, flowers, quilts and animals will help to ease the anxiety and sadness the world is feeling today. ❤️🕊

“To take a word like silver
And try to find a rhyme
Requires only will, ver-
bosity, and time.”
I happened upon this as a kid in an issue of Cricket Magazine, credited to “a clever man named Stephen Sondheim”.
