Kids’ Disinterest In Libraries Has Nothing
To Do With A Manga Shortage

Poor little Johnny. He would have become a lifelong reader, scaling the heights of Shakespeare and Dostoyevsky. But no. His local school library didn’t have any more graphic novels or manga for him to read. So he lost interest in the printed word. Now he bags groceries for a living. Such a story might sound patently ridiculous, but that’s exactly what the leftist corporate media want you to think about recent changes in our nation’s libraries. “Schools are struggling to keep their shelves stocked as oversight by parents and school boards intensifies,” says a recent front-page article in The Washington Post.

It’s not “disinterest”, it’s “uninterest”.

So the notion of re-reading a book is just silly. Cat's Cradle 9 times because it's fun, like Groundhog Day. Winston Churchill's "The Gathering Storm" 4 times because it's true and we're living it. I would visit and hang around my library more except it's a homeless shelter with books.

As #1 said .... Disinterest means lack of bias. Professional writers should know the difference.

When he was in high school, my son developed a habit (which I was trying to discourage) of asking me spellings, meaning, history instead of referring to a dictionary or encyclopedia. One day he said "Dad, how come you know so much about so many things"? My answer was "Because of something your generation is vaguely familiar with. It is called reading".

I’ve always been a voracious reader. I started visiting our neighborhood library when I was 8ish and it had a grouchy old lady librarian. I won her over when I brought back a stack of books after a week and she thought I didn’t like them. I said oh no I read them all. She became, not a friend, but she helped me develop reading interests. Biographies of famous women were a staple. This was the 60’s so I doubt she was a crazy lib like todays librarians. I buy a book or two for my grandkids to encourage reading.

I was also a voracious reader and still am. I remember looking forward to the Weekly Reader every Friday and being able to order my own books. At home, we also had loads of Nancy Drew Mysteries, the complete illustrated Oz series (sadly lost in a house fire), a ton of Dr.Seuss books, the complete Little House series and the Encyclopedia Britannica amongst our home library. We also visited our local library and the school library regularly. My parents encouraged reading and I loved being able to visit foreign lands and ancient times in my imagination through a book. To properly encourage a child to read, they must be started young, as soon as they know what a book is, even before they can read it for themselves. My parents read to us before bed. We did the same for my nieces and nephews. The infants would stare at the pictures and listen to a comforting voice. The toddlers would poke at the pictures and occasionally point out letters. By kindergarten, they were usually reading bits and pieces of the book and by elementary school, a reader was created. Christmas gifts always included a new book to read. My nieces and nephews all had a pretty nice collection of books to choose from growing up. Of course, I grew up in a different time, before computers, video games and 24 hour cable channels. Our television time was highly regulated by my parents so my books were a haven for me. I just cannot imagine not wanting to read a book!

I’ve never heard the word Manga and had to look it up. A Japanese graphic novel with an adult theme. What kind of parent would let their child read this? And would children even be able to check an adult themed book out?

As a teen I read everything I could get my hands on. I picked up books as soon as I woke up and after school. I even read and understood the instrument flying manual for the F4 Phantom. Reading was a big part of my life back then. Yet, I havent been in a library in decades. The reason is simple. Since 1995 I have had the entirety of human knowledge at my fingertips. With the internet I read more than I ever did. Why would a kid go to a library when more and better is available instantly?

I looked a few days ago and had over a thousand books in my Kindle library. My wife is clearing out and donating our physical library. I don’t play golf anymore so we are giving the golf books away. I must have over a hundred instructional golf books (not that many helped me much). The fishing and outdoor books and other novels I will keep. I wish I could thank my late uncle now. He taught me basic reading when, at age 5, I got laid up with the flu and he took comic books and had me reading the balloons in a week or two.

Believe it or not my mother's family read books but only went through them once. The idea of rereading them WAS silly to them. I however was a book worm that, once finding a worthwhile book, would read it until the edges were tattered and pages falling out or the library card had every line filled with my name. Mom marveled with some dismay that I would read and reread a book. I never understood why someone would only be satisfied with one pass through especially if it was a good book. I think the problem of getting people to read has always been there...we just have computers and social media to blame today. As others have pointed out, a love of books begins with the baby. I read books like The Hobbit and A Tale of Two Cities to my daughter and when she was four, I bought her the Hooked on Phonics program...She was reading well above her level by the time she got into 1st grade. I wouldn't trust a lot of Japanese material simply because what they choose to produce for American audiences is a whoooooole lot less conservative than what they give their own children. I have been horrified by some of the themes.

Let's see, you are a teen and you can go to a library, or you can find everything you need on your phone to finish that school assignment about why LGBTXYZ+ people are so much better than "cisgender people" (that is "normal people" for you and me) -- plus all the TikTok Chinese propaganda, and pornography, that you could ever want, from the comfort of your bed at home. Gee, "tough" choice there for the laziest and most messed up generation in American history!!!

I read books AND comic books when I was a kid. I read the newspaper because it was interesting starting at age six, with my breakfast. I really have difficulty grasping people who are uninterested in reading. I read voraciously, and always have done so. At one time I had 30 magazine subscriptions and read all of them cover to cover. I am down to about four or five now, since so many that I used to read have become propaganda outlets like Scientific American and National Geographic. Even Road and Track has been not renewed, a continous subscription since 1968....because EV's and million dollar cars just get old. No more road tests of normal cars, no more racing coverage, no more columnists worth reading.

I wouldn't let my kid go to the library, alone or with me, nowadays...ours are homeless shelters with porn portals--a bunch of unwashed, intoxicated men watching porn and playing with themselves. Why librarians think they need to make everything on the internet available but never thought to put printed porn or videos on loan is a mystery to me. Though, I don't want to give them any ideas!

We have little free library boxes near us, which were a Godsend during the time of the pandemic when the libraries were closed. I've been a user of public libraries my entire life, but the selection isn't so great at the one nearest us and we've mostly switched over to receiving (and giving and trading) books at the little free libraries.

Poster #5 I have a history similar to yours. I too am voracious reader. This was back when it wasn't cool for a Black kid in elementary school to like reading. I was accused by my fellow Black peers of "acting like a White boy." As an escape I often visited the local library and the lady's that worked there liked me because I loved to read and was respectful to them. All of the children's books, their copy of the Encyclopedia Britannica, almost anything I loved. They even had a comic book section which I not only loved to read but it turned out I could draw them. The same peers that called be a want to be White boy came around when I started drawing their favorite superheroes like Superman, Spiderman and the Hulk. Talk about a life saver. I still love to read even though it seems that there isn't enough time in the day. I also still love comics and only found out what Manga is due to the large three-story comic bookstore in the nearby town. Back in the 80s you had to go to the local library or drugstore to get them. It's funny how even though everyone is on their various electronic devices to read or whatever I'll always either pull out my trusty paperback or hard cover. With me some things will never change.

Republican Rep.

Santos’ presence at the center aisle to see and be seen with the arrivals was met with a stern rebuke from a fellow Republican, Sen.

The public is gradually learning how, despite repeated denials and non-answers, top government officials were well aware of the potential for violence on January 6, 2021. A chief investigator on the January 6 select committee told NBC News last week that law enforcement was privy to a trove of intelligence indicating problems could arise during the election certification process but, for some unexplained reason, chose to ignore the warning signs. “The Intel in advance was pretty specific, and it was enough in our view for law enforcement to have done a better job operationalizing a secure perimeter.”

There is a certain demographic that appears to be on an organized mission to show the rest of us just how immoral and backward its philosophies really are. Most notably, these ideologues salivate over unfettered abortion, even to the point when the act becomes definable as "infanticide," and they continue to push the envelope regarding "transgender" sex-change mutilations of children, even prepubescent ones. Think they can't possibly commoditize human life more? Think again — the metaphorical "hold my beer" seems appropriate.

There are two groups of Trump haters. The first are what this writer terms, “The Weak Sister Crowd.” These are the whiners and crybabies who got their noses out of joint when Trump released a “mean” tweet that brought tears to their eyes. They’re the, “Trump said boo to the _____ (insert target group here), and I’m not going vote for him ever again” brainiacs. The second group of NeverTrumpers are the Deep Swamp critters who benefit off the U.S. Feral Gruberment’s largesse. The Corrupocrats like Nancy Pelosi, who start wars and crises and then profit off them via their military-industrial complex stock portfolios. “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

I’ll start with the author’s contention that Russia’s war against Napoleonic France was one of its wars “of aggression.” On June 24, 1812, Napoleon invaded Russia with an army of 650,000, approximately the 12th European county to receive the French tyrant’s military attention. Who was the aggressor here? Tsar Alexander I was a hero at the Congress of Vienna, for crushing that invasion and breaking the French chronic aggressor’s back once and for all.

I really miss Rush. Regardless how complex or critical the issue, I could always count on Rush Limbaugh’s entirely rational and moral analysis, delivered by an apex professional with genuine compassion, even for those with whom he disagreed. He was ensconced behind that golden EIB microphone; a master of ideas and argument. From his lofty height, he engaged with every thorny problem with an equanimity that drew a placid sagacity from an ocean of experience, and confidence. After all, Rush was “documented almost always right 99.7% of the time.” He was a compass that always pointed the precise bearing to truth. He was the constitutionalists’ loadstar.

Somehow, the weirdest thing that happened at the State of the Union was not Joe Biden proclaiming that he’ll veto any legislation that raises the cost of “frisizhnjubs,” a line I’m still trying to figure out. Instead, it involved a pre-speech kiss delivered by Jill Biden to Kamala Harris’ husband, Douglas Emhoff. Honestly, I have no idea what happened here. When I first saw that, I tried to rationalize it. Maybe non-family members kiss on the lips like that routinely and I just missed it all this time. But the more I think about it, the more I don’t think I missed it. Rather, it’s just incredibly strange.
