Reading for Life
“In my own life, exposure to books at an early age inspired a lifelong love of reading and a window into the wider world. When I had children of my own, I wanted them to enjoy the same experience. I know firsthand that reading can open doors and inspire a respect for other ideas, opinions and cultures. And I know all too well that not all parents are in a position to buy every book their children might wish to read. Nor do all parents have the necessary knowledge to recommend age-appropriate books that might satisfy their curiosity at any given stage, soothe their concerns or inspire further reading.”

A well-stocked library with a skilled librarian at the helm is an invaluable asset to every community and every school.
