Seek The Geek

It’s never been so cool to be a geek. —

That’s the thinking behind geek chic brand Geekie–a children’s clothing company that embraces all kinds of kids with all types of attitudes…as long as they’re positive! With a message of education and empowerment, Geekie encourages children to explore their individuality and strive for greatness, whether that be in the classroom or in the gym, in the computer lab or at the skate park after school.

We love their mission and, what’s more, we love their clothes. For boys, we think the Geekie Sunglasses tee in navy blue or kelly green (pictured above) is cool enough to take pint-sized ones through spring, summer and back-to-school. And for Girls, we adore the Be Geekie t-shirt in red for a punch of color with graphic gravity.

Belle da Costa Greene: A Librarian's Legacy

<p>The Morgan Library & Museum will present a major exhibition devoted to the life and career of its inaugural director, Belle da Costa Greene (1879–1950). Widely recognized as an authority on illuminated manuscripts and deeply respected as a cultural heritage executive, Greene was one of the most prominent librarians in American history. The exhibition will trace Greene’s storied life, from her roots in a predominantly Black community in Washington, D.C., to her distinguished career at the helm of one of the world’s great research libraries. Through extraordinary objects―from medieval manuscripts and rare printed books to archival records and portraits―the exhibition will demonstrate the confidence and savvy Greene brought to her roles as librarian, scholar, curator, and cultural executive, and honor her enduring legacy.</p>
