Keep it up!

Second, I’d offer this thought as you think about your future role with children and literacy:

Given the importance of reading for young children, what if it were a BPL goal to make it possible for every parent in Boston to be within a 10 or 20 minute walk of a site where s/he can get books to read to her/his preschooler/early reader?

Or, another way to think about this might be to (if you haven’t already) measure a baseline of what percentage of families with young children currently use the library on a regular (weekly? monthly?) basis, and what it would take to increase that percentage.

Anyway, keep up the good work.
