Like My Mother Said, You

A Library Is Where You Meet Fascinating Characters You Never Forget.

The Parent Reads The Book. The Kid Reads The Book And Then They Can Talk About The Characters Instead Of Talking About Themselves. You Know There's A Connection Even If You Don't Talk About It When You Read The Same Books.

I Am A Big Defender Of 'harry Potter,' And I Think Any Book That Gets Kids To Read Are Books That We Should Cherish, We Should Be Thankful For Them.

That's Good When You Don't Know What You're Doing. But You're Doing It And It's Spontaneous And You're Not Afraid.

If No One Speaks Out For [young Readers], If They Don’t Speak Out For Themselves, All They’ll Get For Required Reading Will Be The Most Bland Books Available. Instead Of Finding The Information They Need At The Library, Instead Of Finding Novels That Illuminate Life, They Will Find Only Those Materials To Which Nobody Could Possibly Object... In This Age Of Censorship I Mourn The Loss Of Books That Will Never Be Written, I Mourn The Voices That Will Be Silenced — Writers’ Voices, Teachers’ Voices, Students’ Voices — And All Because Of Fear.
