But actually, children’s library programming, including story time and guided reading programs are absolutely something Captain America could have grown up with. They’ve been around since the 1890s at least, and pioneering librarians (the majority of them women) embodied the best of the Progressive spirit of the times. Steve, in particular, would have felt the influence of Clara W. Hunt, who worked in the Brooklyn Free Public Library after 1903 (the Brooklyn library system is separate from that of New York) and specifically wrote about reading strategies aimed at boys. In New York, Anne Carroll Moore was a beacon of children’s programming. I think the guy who brought a trunk of books to boot camp probably did his fair share of summer reading. Again, I’m not against the sign, because the whole point is, yes, Cap totally thinks you should Collect Your Passport to Reading Today. Especially in adverse economies, libraries are community sources of resilience as well as practical dispensaries of information, quiet places with the right temperature, restrooms, and, in the 21st century, that elusive free wifi. Libraries (and their superhero librarians) get far less support than they deserve for all they do. All good to know :) I’m a history nut but I shoulda just googled that shit before I put the sign up. but if you don’t tell my tetchy YA contingency that’d be swell. I also have a sign saying if they did not read Deadpool would steal their smart phones. Fear works ;) Haha, I’m all for wrangling via humor, fear, and superheroes :) In any case, historical quibbles aside, we can all agree: summer reading IS way better than polio, and you have to watch out for that Deadpool. -- source link
