5 of 5 Stars to Miss Moore Thought Otherwise or How Anne Carroll Moore Created Libraries for Children by Jan Pinborough and illustrated by Debby Atwell Did you know that children were not allowed to go into libraries in the
late 1800's? "People didn't think reading was very important for
children - especially not for girls." Also, some libraries were not
free. This book tells the story of a girl who didn't follow the rules
and became one of the founding champions for libraries and the right for
children to use them.We, who love children and books, owe a debt to
Anne Carroll Moore who made sure that yesterday's and today's children
have access to the wonderful world of books.
