On the subject of not arguing, we are convinced that, even if the television is bigger than the library, there is still a lot to be done. And if we don't want to argue, we should at least try to convince. For example, children are not responsible if their parents prefer a television set to a good book, but the school can, if it tries, convince them to read, to have fun with a fantastic story, to enjoy a nice poem, to understand history and to get to know the culture of different countries. The school has the possibility and the opportunity.
From the Rural Libraries Network we also make our best efforts so that children, young people and adults in the communities find in our books what complements what they are learning with their families. Thus, whether they have a large or small television set, they will always be able to discuss, discern and define their critical stance, when necessary.
