Jimmy Carter turns a youthful 91 today. While the former Georgia governor and president of the United States celebrates with family and friends, the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta has a way for everyone to join the fun. Admission is reduced to 91 cents all day Thursday (those 16 and under are always admitted free of charge), and there’ll be a special drawing for a signed copy of Carter’s book, “Keeping Faith.” In addition, if you bring a birthday card along with you, the library says they’ll make sure President Carter sees it.

The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum is located at 441 Freedom Parkway, and is open from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m Mondays-Saturdays, and from noon to 4:45 p.m. on Sundays. For more information call (404) 865-7100 or go to www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov.
