American author and illustrator Dr. Seuss was born on March 2, 1904.
In celebration, the Library hosted a SEUSSABRATION CELEBRATION, a special Dr. Seuss Storytime featuring stories read aloud by special guests, refreshments, puzzles to put together, coloring sheets to take home, and Spin-the-Wheel take-home prizes. The Dr. Seuss birthday event began at 10:15 a.m. Wed., March 2, in the Library, Bldg. 1171.
One of the special guests was the Chick-fil-A Cow reading “Green Eggs and Ham.”
Happy birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Happy Birthday to You!
If we didn’t have birthdays,
you wouldn’t be you.
If you’d never been born,
well then what would you do?
If you’d never been born,
well then what would you be?
You might be a fish!
Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a doorknob!
Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full of
hard green tomatoes.
Or worse than all that…
Why, you might be a WASN’T!
A Wasn’t has no fun at all.
No, he doesn’t.
A Wasn’t just isn’t. He just
isn’t present. But you…
You ARE YOU!
And, now isn’t that pleasant!
Today you are you!
That is truer than true!
There is no one alive who
is you-er than you!
Shout loud, “I am
lucky to be what I am !
Thank goodness I’m not just a clam or a ham.
Or a dusty old jar of sour gooseberry jam!
I am what I am!
That’s a great thing to be!
If I say so myself,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
~ Dr. Seuss
