Neil Gaiman: ” If you really can’t figure out which political party or which politician to vote for, just ask if they’re on the side of libraries. Are they voting to fund their libraries? Are they voting to keep them free? Then vote for those guys. They’re probably the good guys. And by the same token, the book burners, the book banners, they’re probably the bad guys.”

This is mine. Right up the street from me. There is a fireplace and nice places to sit and read. Way back when, we lived right next door, and one time my youngest daughter and her friend, both around 3 or 4 years old, went missing, and I found then in the library, sitting at a table looking at books. Librarian said they just walked in, grabbed a couple books and sat themselves down. She knew who they were, of course, and was going to call just as I turned up. My DD is still a reader. So is her older sister. Books and the love of reading them is one of the best gifts you can give your children. Do not let them abolish libraries. They want us to be ignorant and under educated, because the ignorant and under educated are much easier to manipulate. Vote Blue. Please.
