I think she was talking about instilling reading habits? Shit... we lost the library card. Should replace.

More this. I went with my parents just about every week to the library. They're both readers so they needed books to keep themselves happy, and I think it was grand that they could tell us we could take home as many library books as we wanted.

Because books.
But why not with toddlers, too?
I took the boys to the library, too -- and I do it especially right now with Sara. She's got a million "new" books of her brothers' still to grow into, so we go to the library every week and pick out books there.
It's also a fabulous way to test drive books. There are some I thought she'd love that she hated, and then there are others that I couldn't bear to read more than once.

Choose library! But why not with toddlers, too?Because they gnaw on the books?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The library is a great resource for books. I was more upset about this woman's attitude of reading as being a school thing and not something she should be doing with her kid at home. I have so many good memories of reading at home as a child.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I love and loved being read to. My grandmother STILL reads to me and I'm 32 years old.

They do that at the bookstore too.

A good friend of mine (J) is taking a class with a legendary librarian in Oakland who does storytime. J was reading to the kids for the first time the other day.
J: "You don't think they'll mutiny on me, do you?"
Me: "Just don't read them Lord of the Flies and put ideas in their head."
