Fight for libraries as you do freedom by Karin Slaughter

My father and his eight siblings grew up in the kind of poverty that America doesn’t like to talk about unless something like Katrina happens, and then the conversation only lasts as long as the news cycle. His family squatted in shacks. The children scavenged the forest for food. They put cardboard over empty windowpanes so the cold wouldn’t kill them.

Books did not exist here. When your kids are starving, you can’t point with pride to a book you’ve just spent six hours reading. Picking cotton, sewing flour bags into clothes — those were the skills my father grew up appreciating.

 

Calling all kids! Do you know how to find great books, comic books, video games, magazines, movies, popular music, electronic resources for homework & research, and much more at your local library? Try the Kids’ Catalog.

Kids’ Port @ your library. Fun games and great resources for kids, but hey parents there’s links for you too!

A collection of TumbleBooks (animated, talking picture books) TumblePuzzles, and TumbleQuizzes, as well as TumbleResources for teachers.
