* Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Homer Township patrons are invited to participate in the Homer Township Library's Flickr project, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"

“Oh, the Places You'll Go!” was one of the last books written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss. The colored illustrations and whimsical rhymes delight both children and adults. This inspirational book teaches valuable life lessons. Perhaps this is why “Oh, the Places You'll Go!” has become a popular graduation and birthday gift.
We ask you, no matter your age, to check out a copy of this book and bring it to the places YOU go! Maybe you are going on vacation, a trip to the store, to work or maybe to visit a family member. Share your special journey by sending us a photograph of you with a copy of “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!”

So we ask you, what places will you go?

Send photographs to homerlibrary@gmail.com.
Photographs will be posted on http://www.flickr.com/photos/ohtheplacesyoullgo.
The library reserves the right to use submitted photographs in publicity material.

For more information, contact Alexandra Tyle-Annen at atyle @ homerlibrary.org.
