Laura Bush worked as a school librarian before politics, and she brought that training to public life. She founded the Texas Book Festival in 1995, then launched the National Book Festival with the Library of Congress in 2001, which still draws large crowds in Washington. Her Laura Bush Foundation for America's Libraries has given grants to under-resourced school libraries for over two decades, a quieter but more practical legacy than any speech.
