Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow.
LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.
There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯
I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

So tired right now that my brain is glitching. It just took me a full two seconds to remember the word for “coffee” in a conversation. That's how you know it’s bad.
