Likely Jan LukasMy parents had spotty access to schooling so reading was important but not easy for them (smart people but more self-educated than formal).
They were happy that I was a reader and it was pretty normal that my monthly stack of #PublicLibrary books was waist-to-chin high, plus the #SchoolLibrary books I brought home weekly.
I was also encouraged in my addiction by a fairly robust #ScholasticBook order budget -- back when they only sold books.
I've overheard more than one of my kids' friends comment during a wide-eyed first visit, "Wow! Why do you live in a library?"
