There is no frigate like a book and no harbor like a library, where those who love books but can't afford their own complete collections, or those who need a computer, or kids who need a safe place to read after school, or moms with toddlers who want their babies to learn to read, can all come together and share in a great community resource.

More From Sara Paretsky

I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

We give scholarships to high school kids and a new library of books to every preschool child in the county where i was born. i didn't have books at home so i did all my reading at school. i love books and i believe that helping kids to read gives them a great start in life.
Children Believe Book
I was so inspired by dr. king that in 1956 with my brothers and sisters and first cousins, i was only 16 years old, we went down to the public library trying to check out some books and we were told by the librarian that the library was for whites only and not for colors! it was a public library! i never went back to that public library until july 5th, 1998, by this time i'm in the congress, for a book signing of my book "walking with the wind"

Children have to have access to books, and a lot of children can't go to a store and buy a book. we need not only our public libraries to be funded properly and staffed properly, but our school libraries. many children can't get to a public library, and the only library they have is a school library.
Children Book School
I didn't want to teach my kid how to read, so i used to read to him at night and close the book at the most interesting part. he said, “what happened then, daddy?” i said, “if you learn to read, you can find out. i'm too tired to read. i'll read to you tomorrow.” so, he had a need to want to learn how to read. don't teach children how to read. don't teach them mathematics. give them a reason to want it. in school, they're working ass-backwards.
Motivational Children Reading
As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. are our examples worthy of emulation? do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘i want to follow my dad,’ or ‘i want to be like my mother’? unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.

He had then warned his daughter not to violate the eleventh commandment. "which one is that?" i asked her. "do not bullshit thy father," she said.
Daughter Father Bullshit
The weekend break had begun with the usual resentment and had continued with half-repressed ill humour. it was, of course, his fault. he had been more ready to hurt his wife's feelings and deprive his daughter than inconvenience a pub bar full of strangers. he wished there could be one memory of his dead child which wasn't tainted with guilt and regret.
