Nonfiction books serve a much broader mission that just presenting facts. It is the combination of story and images that feeds kids' curiosity and inspires them to new thoughts and lines of interest. This combination can get kids reading, even when they "don't like to read". Such a miraculous spark for kids' development is much less likely to happen with online sources. Taking nonfiction books out of a library is a real disservice to the next generation.Pamela K.

It's hard to separate t he fact from the fiction. meghan "An elementary school in San Antonio is in the process of removing all their non-fiction books from their (relatively small) library. Students will be using internet only from now on. I noticed a few NF picture books still on the shelf, such as Kadir Nelson's "We Are the Ship," but science, bios, etc. are gone. Kaput."
