Today is Winnie the Pooh's 100th Birthday! In 1926, Winnie-the-Pooh, a collection of stories about a rather stout, somewhat confused bear, was published by A. A. Milne. A century later, the world of Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin, and others continues to enchant readers of all ages. Which character from the series is your favorite? Tell us why!

Happy 100th birthday, dear old bear! Today’s 10 am Tiny Tots storytime at the Main Library will be a tribute to Winnie-the-Pooh. Please check with your local KCPL branch library to inquire as to special programs there celebrating Pooh Bear.

🎈🎈🎈
One hundred years ago today, on October 14, 1926, Winnie-the-Pooh was first published. Generations of children have curled up with Pooh, Piglet and the Hundred Acre Wood, and many of us still have a well-loved copy on the shelf. Happy 100th birthday, dear old bear.
