Libraries as "reading apps"
Hector Tobar, a Los Angeles Times columnist who is concerned by that Generation M2 report I mentioned yesterday, gives a shout-out to the Vermont Square Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library, and stresses the important role parents play in limiting their child's exposure to screen media in order to carve out more time for family activities (like reading books and going to the library!).

Libraries are super important, and it is adults who must strive to develop a habit of going to the library when their children are young. The fact that I can borrow and read hundreds of books every year without having to buy each one is wonderful. Kirsten
