• Literacy Overlook

    The Overlook is the perfect place to settle into a comfortable chair or couch while you read one of the many books available to your kids or grandkids. The kids can crawl inside the White House model and hear Mrs. Bush read one of four different stories. Don't miss the opportunity to survey the grounds behind the Library, which includes a beautiful pond and the Barbara Bush Rose Garden, or watch the entertaining video we affectionately call "Bushes Unplugged."

  • The Literacy Overlook Exhibit highlights several things about the Bush Family and their time at the White House: their strong sense of family, of literacy, of humanity, their love of laughter and time spent together.
