This situation is so wrong in so many ways!
When a library board takes on this attitude,
it's time to close that library. They should be promoting reading and if
this young man followed the rules set forth by the contest and put
forth the effort, he deserves to win. Surely, after winning
so many times, the other children know what they need to do to take the
winner's spot. It looks to me like there are a good number of children
who participated in the program. Perhaps next year they will strive a
little harder to read even more. You cannot blame the winner for doing exactly what the contest asked for. Nor can you blame him because the other children didn't put as much heart into the contest as he did. This librarian, I'm sure, encouraged
all the children to read more books, not just this one boy. She deserves her job
back! Go to the link at the bottom to go to the full article.
