Who knows. I am sure I have been blocked by a bunch of people who don't enjoy my *shakes fist at sky* energy.
Be you. Don't worry about what others do.
When I was young I wanted to borrow Bed knobs and Broomsticks. The librarian made me read AN ENTIRE page out loud to prove that I was able to read above my grade level.
I did it. And I will hate that human until I die.
Nobody should gate keep books
Here's the thing: I see librarians as the OG recommendation engines which is freaking awesome AND I will hold resentment towards that librarian until I die.
I read well above my age level. Books were my world. Libraries (and librarians ofc) gave that to me
That's bad.
Although a while back we figured out a 10ish year old's ideal comic would be Game of Thrones, and I was a bit ooh, but really it's for him to decide
Thank you. I still remember how pissed she looked when I read it like a tiny boss.
I don't remember what else I read that year, but that book cover is a part of my core memories.
FFS. That’s balls. I was lucky to encounter mostly awesome (or at least benignly neglectful) librarians while growing up. Working in libraries was another matter.
