Children have to have access to books, and a lot of children can't go to a store and buy a book. We need not only our public libraries to be funded properly and staffed properly, but our school libraries. Many children can't get to a public library, and the only library they have is a school library.

  • -- Katherine Paterson 凯瑟琳·佩特森

孩子们必须有机会接触到书,很多孩子不能去商店买书。我们不仅需要适当的公共图书馆经费和人员,而且需要适当的学校图书馆。许多孩子不能去公共图书馆,他们唯一拥有的图书馆是学校图书馆。
