FIRST PUBLIC READING ON THIS DAY IN 1776

See the source image


On July 8, 1776, a 2,000-pound copper-and-tin bell now known
as the “Liberty Bell” rang out from the tower of the
Pennsylvania

State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, summoning
citizens to the first public reading of the United States Declaration
of
Independence
.

Four days earlier, the historic document had been adopted by
delegates to the
Continental Congress, but the bell did not ring
to announce the issuing of the document until the Declaration
of Independence returned from the printer on July 8.

When Little Golden Books were first published in 1942 by Random
House, when high-quality books for children hadn’t been available
at a price most people could afford. Little Golden Books changed
that! Priced at just 25 cents and sold where people shopped every 
day, they caused an instant sensation and were soon purchased 
by the hundreds of thousands. Created by such talented writers 
as Margaret Wise Brown (author of Goodnight Moon) and Richard 
Scarry, Little Golden Books have helped millions of children 
develop a lifelong love of reading.
