Does the Reagan library have books.....that people can read?

Just curious.

1. Sure it does

It's got loads of books to read.




For added fun, after you read them, you can color in the pretty pictures of kitties and rainbows!

2. I can get to the Reagan library in three minutes

And I've been there several times first for the openings and then with relatives and finally after his death, to check on the grave to see if I could piss on it. ( Sorry, 24/7 security and cameras)

I did however, dance on it.

I was there as an upstanding member of my community (my bank donated LOTS of money to local causes) for the pre-opening set up speechifying stuff, and security was pretty light then. I sat in his chair behind the desk in the oval office and never saw a security guy. Other than that, it's actually a pretty cool museum if you were alive during Reagan's reign/lifetime. It attempts to capture the mood and tenor of the country at the time of Reagan's political career, so there's lots of topical-historical stuff not related to politics directly from the 60's and 70's. There's the oval office, and a large display from his ranch in Malibu Canyon and the one in Santa Barbara. And of Course, Air Force One. The downside is there's so many Reagan worshippers around, it's hard not to offend with any snide remarks.

But if your worst nightmare comes true and you're taking your relatives up there, you won't be bored to death.

So they've got some kind of fear generator machine in there so you feel like you're gonna die in mushroom cloud any second??

I like the jelly beans though. Nice touch!

4. My son's class just visited it the other week

Library has a big airplane and jelly beans and the guide talked about the assassination attempt.

Nothing about books.

6. If that was my kid I'd pull him out of class that day

simply for what Reagan did to the Department of Education

5. I've been wondering about this and *.

I mean, the only book the guy ever read was about a pet goat. Is that gonna be the only book in there?
