January 19 is Edgar Allan Poe’s Birthday

Did you know at Digital Maryland, you can explore the genius of poet and author Edgar Allan Poe, who called Baltimore home for many years, through the Enoch Pratt Free Library’s collection of letters and artifacts from his life. The most Poe-etic artifact in the collection dedicated to a man best known for the macabre? Perhaps this framed lock of hair from both Poe and his young wife, Virginia Clemm Poe.

Book Bowl 2017: Pratt Library vs. Houston Public Library

Help Baltimore Library take on Houston Library in the 2017 Book Bowl

It’s a battle over books… a rumble in the reading room… a smack down in the stacks.  Okay, maybe it’s not that serious.

But 2017 Book Bowl is here!

As the Baltimore Ravens take on the Houston Texans tonight, the Pratt Library will be taking on the Houston Public Library in a fundraising fight.  The library that gets the most online donations between kickoff of Monday Night Football and midnight on Giving Tuesday wins.

So help Baltimore top Houston… and we can all do a little touchdown dance!
