“This morning the Mammoth Lakes library had a special visitor before the doors opened for patrons,” the office’s statement said. “We can only assume the new Li-BEAR-ian was looking for a copy of Winnie-the-Pooh, published 100 years ago today!”

Ah, the shame will bearly register nowadays no worries, so bear that in mind.
