I feel and have always felt that every library in America should display the quote below. It is from one of our country's finest books, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, which has been a movie, even a Broadway musical. I would say it is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read. Which is why I damn Florida's Governor, Ron DeSantis, for promoting the shameful sin of book banning and putting this masterpiece by Betty Smith on that despicable prude's list.
"Oh, magic hour, when a child first knows she can read printed words."
