Three years ago a friend sent this note around:
Somehow I've lucked out and have an 8yo who thinks secretly reading under the covers past her bedtime is an act of rebellion, and it hasn't yet occurred to her that her flashlights never seem to run out of batteries.
He updated us with new information:
Anyway, she's 11 now. Her bedtime is later, and she knows we don't mind if she stays up reading. She still loves books, but there are lots of things – messaging with friends, Roblox, etc – competing for her attention.
At some point, though, she figured out how to check out books on Libby, and read them on her iPad. She doesn't need our help at all.
It's the weirdest thing. Someone must have installed the app, entered her library card information, and left the icon there on the home screen.
