What you’re doing is incredibly important in this time where money is tight for so many families. To be able to find books and read widely is crucial for children. #SupportLibraries

Calvin and Hobbes cartoon by Bill Watterson, showing Calvin and Hobbes reading comics for pleasure
I don't believe in "good reading" & "bad reading". Comic books, graphic novels, manga, picture books, joke books, sports reports, all kinds of poetry & prose: it's all reading, and it's all good! Let kids read for pleasure - and they'll be readers FOREVER! #reading #literacy
