[May 22, 2012]  SPRINGFIELD -- The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum wants you to "wake up with Abe."

The "Good Morning from Mr. Lincoln" series on the presidential library and museum's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/
lincoln.museum
, features images from around the world of places or things that are named after or depict Abraham Lincoln.

From signs to statues to sedans, friends are encouraged to send in their Lincoln images, and if chosen, these appear alongside the nearly 200 depictions of the 16th president that already make up the series. Since the beginning of the project, the series has seen 33 different Abraham Lincoln presenters, 40 different Lincoln statues and one tattoo of the Great Emancipator. Those wishing to have their images considered for the "Good Morning from Mr. Lincoln" series can click on the Facebook page link.

In addition to the "Good Morning from Mr. Lincoln" series, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum's Facebook page features daily quotes from Abraham Lincoln; links to blogs, videos and podcasts; and is a great place to interact with other Abraham Lincoln enthusiasts. "Liking" the page will let you see these new images and read the new Lincoln quotes every day.
