Looking for a literary event for your young reader? Stop by the Enoch Pratt Central Library Saturday for storytime with First Lady Katie O’Malley.

Reading to kids must be a staple for first ladies. Katie is shown here with her son, Jack, at a similar event last year at the Rosedale library. And Kendel Ehrlich helped kick off Baltimore County's summer reading program. Good for them -- we should do all we can to get kids reading.

(Of course, the most infamous politico-reading moment came on Sept. 11, 2001, when President Bush listened to The Pet Goat in a Florida classroom while the World Trade Center was being attacked by terrorists.)

If you can't make Saturday's event, the Pratt will present another special storytime when library CEO Carla D. Hayden reads for kids Monday at 11 a.m. at the Patterson Park Branch, 158. N. Linwood Avenue.
