I found a hallway in the basement of my local library with old posters featuring celebrities and I am completely obsessed with them.
@serow I am completely focused on the reading choices. Stephen Hawking reading about Marilyn Monroe, whose most famous photos (in my timeline) are of her reading Joyce's Ulysses...
@jpaltin There’s also one of Weird Al reading A Brief History of Time!
@serow Paul Newman pointedly not reading that copy of “Humboldt’s Gift”
@serow I love these! I got two at a library sale a few years ago... Michael Stipe from R.E.M. and Kristi Yamaguchi. I was so excited!
@SarahBeth I'm jealous! I immediately went on eBay to try to find the Hugh Laurie one but the only listing was for over $100.
@serow I had an Alan Rickman one!
@thesusanito I cannot tell you how quickly I went to eBay to search for this after reading your post.
@serow I donated it years ago and now I sorta regret it
@serow CHARMING posters,
may we/I have some MORE please!
@serow I was in my kid's school library the other day and they have some of these that looked like they were from the 90s. Oprah's was my favorite!

@serow American Library Association READ posters! Love them.

But if these are considered “old”, well, I’ve got some real gems for you:

@dsharman Love it!
@serow @dsharman
These were an absolute staple of my teen years
@carolineseydel @serow aaaa I remember this one too!
@dsharman @serow Bowie! Gawd I miss him!
@SevenBowie @serow he had such Catholic reading tastes, too…
@serow we’ve got this delightful one behind our reference desk 😊
@serow My library has those too, and a bunch of others besides lol
@serow I love that Ewan McGregor is reading Beatrix Potter.
