I WAS A library kid growing up. I was in Borders all the time to the point where the workers would be like, “Where are your parents? Why are you still here? It’s dark outside!” Children are some of our most marginalized members of society. Kids can’t [generally] walk into a bookstore and buy books, or they can’t just walk into a library and check out books. Often, they have to have an adult with them. Banning children’s books is a hurdle to literacy and to learning history and how we engage with others in community.
