Used this book in my classroom for many years.
Historical images ★ A reproduction of Key’s original manuscript Caldecott Medalist Peter Spier’s magnificent tribute takes readers from our anthem’s turbulent origins at the Battle of Baltimore through the flag’s significance in modern-day America. It’s a must-have for every American family’s library

"The Visit came from the memory of the first time I stayed home alone. I felt afraid, like the little fox. Everything seemed different—my bedroom, the living room… As an adult...I’ve discovered that silence calms me & helps me connect with my thoughts."

Teens have been busy creating with IPPL. From Spartan Hour at Lakeview Junior High to a Trucker Hat program at the library, we love seeing what teens create. Visit calendar.ippl.info to see more program opportunities for teens (and everyone!).

Happy Easter! Inside the museum, we’ll honor a longstanding White House tradition thanks to a contribution from Diane Johnson, an educator-librarian, who donated these keepsake eggs from the 2014 Easter Egg Roll after using them to teach students about the Obama Administration.
