This is the kind of librarian I work to be every day. From the Unshelved comic strip.

@bloodravenlib So what if a child wants to read a book that's "above their level?" By being exposed to more advanced grammar, they'll learn from it. If they encounter words they don't know, they'll use (or learn to use) a dictionary, AND expand their vocabulary. This is how students become lifelong learners, and any practice or policy designed to hold students back is both unethical and the literal opposite of what educators are supposed to do.

@SDWolf

Imagine no adults trying to read Shakespeare, because it's above their reading level. ;)
