See Dr. Seuss’s original drawings for his book The Lorax at our new exhibit.

Come join us at the LBJ Library on Saturday, April 22nd, from 10 am to 3 pm for an Earth Day celebration. Admission and parking are free.

This family-friendly event features opportunities to play, learn, engage, and explore conservation! View the new temporary exhibit, The Lorax: Who Speaks for the Trees Now?, to see the original prints of Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax (TM & © 2023 Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P. All rights reserved). Learn about the powerful environmental efforts that we can take in our homes and neighborhoods. Explore the variety of local resources and organizations dedicated to preserving our Earth and fighting climate change in our community. Bring your lunch and picnic on the LBJ Lawn.

Supporting conservation is just one enduring aspect of President Johnson’s legislative legacy. During his administration, Johnson led the passage of many laws and regulations to help preserve the natural resources of the United States, including the Clean Air Act, Wilderness Act, Endangered Species Act, Highway Beautification Act, and even created the National Trail System. 

Participating organizations:

A performance by “The Singing Zoologist” Lucas Miller from noon to 1 pm.

Storytime with author Catherine Stier at 10:30, 11:30, and 1:30 & book signing.
