Thanks, Kirsten! These are some great spaces.

These are beautiful and fun, but don't forget that kids need modeling, too! If caregivers are reading print books that goes a long way toward encouraging kids to "not give up" on print books. (In the end, of course, reading is reading regardless of the format, but "curling up with a good e-reader" just doesn't have the same ring to it...)
