Gouache painting of a spaniel, beagle, and german shepherd. They're holding in their mouths a tennis ball, library card, and rope toy respectively. The beagle looks very proud, while the other two stare at them.

Happy National Library Week!! A great time to ask everyone you know if they have a library card.

This is not and never has been the point of libraries or museums.
