I was talking with a young girl the other day during dismissal. She might have been in 2nd grade. Our school's dismissal policy is that children sit in their assigned location and quietly read. When I reminded her to get out a book, she explained she hadn't been to the library yet this week to be able to have a book. I then explained that she could be reading the book she had checked out last week, brought one from home, borrowed one from her teacher's classroom or gone to the public library. Her response was "There are public libraries?!!?"
Oh my.
