President Obama visited Politics and Prose, an independent bookstore in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, to promote small businesses by buying a giant stack of books.
The president, accompanied by his daughters, purchased 17 books on Small Business Saturday, ranging from recent National Book Award and Man Booker Prize winners to children’s and young adult books. While we can’t imagine who at the White House plans to read “Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus,” Obama’s adult purchases offer an interesting selection for book nerds.
