I say it often but once again: By granting them borrowing privileges and protecting their privacy, public libraries afford children a form of civic standing and respect that has few parallels in our โ€œfreeโ€ society, which mostly treats children as chattel. Vociferously defend public libraries. ๐Ÿ“š
