Just back from vacation and I’ve had slews of kids come up to me and tell me not just where they went and what they did for spring break but also what they read. Nothing does a librarian’s heart better than hearing about how much a student loved a new book they discovered or an old favorite they returned to. My own daughter and I checked out the BFG by Roald Dahl and it’s one of our favorites now. Next up: Matilda (also by Dahl).

It’s a pleasure to know that library time at LREI is valued by the kids and that enthusiasm surely comes from home, where kids seem to have learned the importance of taking your imagination out for a spin with a good book.

So, thanks for loving reading, thanks for reading to your kids and thanks for sending their enjoyment of it in with them every day.
