Barbie's book club

For years, the American Library Association had a literacy campaign that featured posters of celebrities encouraging reading. If you frequented any US library in the last four decades, you definitely recognize the "READ" posters, even if you don't actively remember them.

As a fundraiser, the ALA is auctioning off a bunch of the originals in nice, high quality. You can see the listings here at Heritage Auctions. Barbie is the only specifically toy-based one we saw, but there are Muppets, X-Men, Stars of the both War and Trek variety... lots of nerdy things you might like to right-click and save-as.
