John Schu, uber-librarian, even reads very old Newbery Medal books that most might consider better left forgotten...
And he makes cool things to illuminate his reading.
(Check out the very tippy-top left corner.)

He's about to take a road trip with Ivan,
from The One and Only Ivan.
Possibly heading your way, fellow Mississippians!
So if you see a couple of folks wandering in and out of independent bookstores
with a stuffed gorilla, flaunt that trademark southern hospitality.
Maybe even feed them some fried okra and cornbread, please.
