When the late John Lewis won the National Book Award in 2016, he recalled being denied access to the library as a boy. To think, kids can go into #libraries today but are being denied access to books. To think, we are still fighting for the right to read. #RightToReadDay

One of the wonderful things about Baltimore County Public Library is their dedication to patron requests. I just got a positive response for my collection development request, and my daughter can't wait to pick up the new playaway! #bcpslms
