Harrison Ford talking about libraries is your Valentine.
As we all know, there is only one Valentine and it is every book. Luckily, Harrison Ford talking about how great libraries are is an acceptable human Valentine proxy for all books.
Why—besides the fact that you can’t spell”Harrison Ford, you irascible Jedi” without “Library”—is Ford making PSAs for the American Library Association? It might have something to do with his upcoming CGI dog adaptation of The Call of the Wild.
Still, “You can find more epic stories like [The Call of the Wild] at your local library, which is full of books,” in Harrison Ford’s dulcet grumble is better than a sweet nothing any day.
Happy Valentine’s Day to all!
