The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum said it will display, as part of a weeklong celebration of Presidents’ Day, a 1930 biography of Abraham Lincoln that was apparently borrowed by Kennedy, or a member of his staff, when he was serving in the Senate in the 1950s.
The Library of Congress book, “A. Lincoln” by Ross F. Lockridge, was found in Kennedy’s pre-presidential papers. It has been listed as missing in the Library of Congress online catalog, and will be returned to its collection after the display.
“It has just always been assumed to have been one of his books,” said library spokesman Tom McNaught, but the library recently learned “it had been checked out since he was a senator and he had just kept it.”

great, another Lincoln-Kennedy coincidence…
Lincoln once rented the DVD for The Jamie Kennedy Experiment from Netflix and let it sit over his fireplace for 4 months before returning it. Eerie how these things keep popping up.
Could be worse
At least it wasn’t found in Marilyn Monroe’s effects. Wonder what the overdue fines would be….
