Tonight’s Quote
"When you read with your child, you show them that reading is important, but you also show them they're important - that they are so important to you that you will spend 20 minutes a day with your arm around them."
Laura Bush (2003) Moscow Children's Book Festival, reported in Library and Information Update, November 2003
