My seventh grade year was an exercise in misery. The school was rough and tough and I was a suburban marshmallow. The library was my refuge and the librarian my heroine. I volunteered there, more avoidance than altruism, believe me. And as we shelved books this wise and knowing woman would say to me, "You know, the school board is considering banning this book," or "This is one the PTA wants pulled." No more, no less. I read them all, furtively--clearly forbidden fruit. She opened doors I would never have reached for by pulling them closed! Long live the subversives say I!
