I love the last panel. 😊

#Libraries #NoLimits #Books #Reading

Four three-panel comics together in one block. The comic is "Unshelved" by Gene Ambaum & Bill Barnes, the first scenes are all in front of a very large bookcase and the last have a plain background. The first series is a young black boy talking to a white male librarian: Boy: Can I check out this book? Librarian: Yes you can check out ANY book. B: ANY book? L: If you can reach it, you can check it out. B: What if I can't reach it? L: Then I'll do it for you. 2nd panel B: My teacher says I need to return this book. It's above my reading level. L: So? B: So I can't read it. L: Maybe you CAN. Maybe you can't. Maybe you can read part of it. Maybe you just want to look at the pictures. You can still keep it. B: Forever? L: No. B: Worth a shot. Third panel, now including a white teacher T: Did you tell this student he could check out this book? L: Yes. T: Are you aware that it's well above his reading level? L: Don't care. T: We have A POLICY! L: I love the sound policy makes when I break it. Fourth panel: T: I'm very disappointed you let kids check out just ANY book. L: Why, which books did you want to censor? T: What? No! I just want to make sure they read within their capabilities! L: And I want them to know they have no limits.
