In Our Feeds: hats, ambitious readers, and childhood books

Each Friday, we share a handful of links we found interesting, provocative, funny — or just plain cool. We call it In Our Feeds. Have a good weekend!

Dr. Seuss’ personal hat collection (yup, he collected hats!) is going on tour! Take a look – they are pretty amazing!

You can exercise your brain at a library, so why not your body as well? A library in Virginia put stationary bikes in the health and fitness section of the library! Who knows, maybe we’ll see bookshelves at the gym next!

Do you consider yourself well-read? Well, one 9-year-old is putting us all to shame! This real-life Matilda read 364 books in 7 months! Not feeling quite that ambitious? Here’s a more realistic comparison: see how you stack up against a 12th grader with this fun quiz.

All you need is a chair or a cozy book nook, but sometimes, it’s fun to dream big. Huffington Post put together a list of the Coolest Places on Earth to Read!

Grab a tissue and read the 10 Most Devastating Lines in Children’s Literature, which includes the epic line Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows “’Always’, said Snape.”

I think most of the OOM-ers have felt an attachment to books from their childhood and can relate to this writer’s story about “loving, and losing, your favorite childhood books.”

Enjoy the weekend!
