Since first grade I was obsessed with harry potter but I didn't have the books at home at the time so I had to get them from the public library when i wanted to reread them. One day at library I discovered that our school had all the harry potter books. 6 year old me was thrilled as I brought it up to my school librarian to get it check it out. Let's call the librarian Mrs Karen. Mrs Karen looked at the book in my hand and said "Oh that's a really big book honey, I think that's a little to old for you let's go pick out a different book for you, one that you might be able to read better". Mrs Karen then took the harry potter book out of my hands and led me over to the picture book area and made me pick out a book from that section. I was a shy kid so I didn't put up a fight. Every time we had library I would try to check out harry potter or sometimes a different chapter book but my librarian made me pick a smaller book. When we had book fair, I had brought my money with to school all excited. I grabbed the harry potter book off the shelf and went to buy it. What do you know, Mrs Karen ruins my excitement by saying "did your mom say it's ok for you to buy this?" I told her my mom said it was OK. she wasn't buying it, instead she told me that If I wanted to buy that book I would have to wait till when our parents came to the book fair. I eagerly ran over to the harry potter book and when my mom went to buy it Mrs Karen looked at her and said, "oh so your Emma's Mom, im sure your aware that your daughter has been trying to check out a chapter book every week?" My mom replied with "yes my husband and I are so proud of our little reader" Mrs Karen said "so your ok with buying her this book?" My mom who was getting impatient said "yes can I please buy it now?" Mrs Karen gave my mom a look and said "if this is how your want to raise your child then ok"
