I read this news item this morning about a kid’s group of knitters being banned from a library here in Ontario.  It’s probably about the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a long time.   So dumb in fact, that I thought it must be a library in Ottawa.  Sometimes I think our city’s decisions are pretty random… but that’s a topic for another post.

Basically, the library wants to promote literacy activities and I guess crafting activities don’t involve books.  I think Dewey decimal 730-760 would disagree!  (And their idea of video game nights makes so much more sense to increase literacy.)

I’ve borrowed plenty of books on knitting from the library and I think crafting and reading do go hand in hand.  Dumb.
