The web has forever changed the way we produce and consume information, but fundamentally the relationship between reader and writer remains the same.

Tonight, I sat in the middle of a number of children in front of our library.  The children were playing cards, Go Fish/Crazy Eights, chess, playing with stuffed animals donated by my friend Spring Raymond​ from the US, pretending to cook with a plastic stove donated by my friend Pragya Mishra​  from India, reading books from the US rounded up by my dad Norm Rosenkrantz​ and Nepali books donated by the Asia Foundation in Kathmandu.  One adult was teaching children how to fold paper to make birds.
