When we return to school, you'll have a chance to share what books you've read and even win some prizes!
“When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.” – Maya Angelou
“Books are a uniquely portable magic.” – Stephen King
“As you read a book word by word and page by page, you participate in its creation, just as a cellist playing a Bach suite participates, note by note, in the creation, the coming-to-be, the existence, of the music. And, as you read and re-read, the book of course participates in the creation of you, your thoughts and feelings, the size and temper of your soul.” – Ursula K. Le Guin
“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.” – Frederick Douglass
“That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.” – Jhumpa Lahiri
“Reading is important. If you know how to read, then the whole world opens up to you.” – Barack Obama
