reading

Imagine a day filled with stories and laughter as a Texas literary legend comes to town. There's something special in the air at the library this February.

In my opinion, books that are overtly sexual in nature don't have a place in elementary schools--or even perhaps in middle schools, for that matter. But here's part of the controversy: different people have different ideas about what 'overtly sexual' means.

I'm sorry, where was this when I was a little girl? I came across the story of a local Odessa woman who apparently places books outside her home for children in her neighborhood and pretty much anyone in the community who wants to drop by and grab a couple to read throughout the summer.

Little known fact about Rebecca....wait for it....I love to read! My favorite subjects in school were English and Reading and I had great grades in both growing up. Yep I'm a weirdo. Can you imagine my book reports back in the day? No Cliffs Notes for this girl. lol
