What's a library without people?

Maybe I've mentioned this before, but both of my parents are librarians.

(I'll wait a few seconds and let all of the jokes filter through your system. Trust me - I've probably heard all of them before...)

Anyway, as a kid I loved going to the library. I played on a carpet that had a maze woven into it. I read Goodnight Moon. I read Frog and Toad. I read Berenstain Bears. The library was fun. Yeah, maybe I was a little biased, but there were other kids there, too. The library was fun for lots of kids.

So what would your reaction be if I told you Congress is thinking about banning children from libraries?

I'm not even kidding.
