The American Library Association offers a popular series of posters featuring celebrities holding a favorite book, with the encouraging message "Read" or "Lea" (in Spanish) emblazoned across the top. These posters are great for encouraging young minds to pick up a book. Even better, they also offer customizable versions! You can order a CD containing generic backgrounds, to which you can add you own image. Here's what I came up with:
I would love to see this on the wall at my local library.
Excellent!
For 11 years, I had one of those posters on my office wall, this one of the (then-young) Mikhail Baryshnikov holding ... was it War and Peace? Anna Karenina? I don't remember, but it was Russian. I was too busy looking into his blue eyes to notice. Ahh

The funny thing is, if you put that poster up in your local library, it's unlikely in a million years that W would see it. How ironic.

Mail it ... or e-mail it ... to the White House. Oh, yeah ... the return address should be the library.
