And we never went to Disney World. And recently my Mom gave me one of the first books I read and owned. She kept it all this time (30 years). Reading was required, not an option, and none of us resent that. My kids are both avid readers and smart as they can be. My sons first card in his wallet was his library card!Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04659556764042698473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38053992.post-37195818931146626482008-05-10T17:35:00.000-04:002008-05-10T17:35:00.000-04:00YAYYYYY!

I realized a few years ago, when I wore out my library card getting books for my grandma in the nursing home, where my love of stories came from.Gwen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07372049662768907328noreply@blogger.com
