Hey The, You probably know that President Obama shares his summer reading lists each year, but have you ever wondered why those specific books made the cut? This year, in addition to his summer reading list, we’re excited to include President Obama’s handwritten notes that will give you a little insight into his recent reads and why he picked them up. Check out President Obama’s notes here!  Next year, you’ll be able to check out President Obama’s favorite books in person when the newest Chicago Public Library branch opens at the Obama Presidential Center! Learn more about the 19.3-acre campus here; we can’t wait to open our doors to welcome visitors from around the corner and around the world. –The Obama Foundation | | | |
