Your story matters. And it’s our differences that make the world a better place.

The elevator lobby art really is beautiful @InsideNatGeo.

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Slingshot Challenge! In partnership with the @PGAFamilyFdn, this challenge is designed to empower the next generation of stewards of the planet as they apply their ingenuity to tackle environmental issues.

Pulled this book from the #rarebooks collection to show a patron — what a beautiful cover. From 1855.

Happy birthday, @NatGeoMag! The Society was founded January 13, 1888 but the first magazine issue was published Sept. 22 of that same year. And while there were photos inside the magazine as early as 1889, the first cover illustration wasn't until 1942. @InsideNatGeo

What do you think of this month’s @NatGeoMag cover cat? The caption says this Canadian Sphynx, Ed, is alert and relaxed. He definitely has #catitude.

Time for a #reshelfie — see what our #library users @insidenatgeo were reading today. #shelfie #librarylife #books

In 1946, after returning to @NatGeo from service in WWII, staff photographer Volkmar Wentzel is sent to India on a magazine assignment for three years. While there, he converted an old Army ambulance into a mobile photolab/camper to develop his film. #WorldPhotoDay (no 🔇)

Buried under the sediments off the coast of West Africa, a strange structure lurks beneath the surface with the telltale signs of a cataclysmic event. Now, they're hoping to drill into the seafloor to figure out exactly what it is. My latest @NatGeo: nationalgeographic.com/magazine/artic…

@Jennsylvanian Good to know, @Jennsylvanian -- we added the OverDrive version of Parachute just last week, so now I can feel free to weed the print :)

@NatGeoLibrary Parachute got a major revamp in the 2022 edition so I say weed/replace your copy.
