Cute kid story #1:
My husband is a library director. Today he was manning the kids' room while the children's librarian was at lunch, and a little girl about 8 years old came to check in. She said she had written in her diary about summer reading club, and proceeded to read him the entry:
"My mom told me you could read books and win prizes, and I was like, OMG! Let's get started!"
She then began chattering about Twilight Sparkle. My husband was alarmed, thinking she was a bit young for Stephanie Meyer, until she explained it is a My Little Pony.
Sorta cute kid story #2:
Another librarian's nephews would rather play outside than read. Their mom said, "I want you to read for an hour a day. Do your reading early, and the rest of the day is yours to play."
One of the kids said, "An hour! We can't read an hour a day! What do you think we are, librarians?"
