		<description><![CDATA[I remember going to the library every Saturday morning for the children&#8217;s reading group, and I remember picking out books that had a cool gold seal on the cover (Newbery Book Award winners). I always thought how special children must be because we got the section at the front of the library by the entrance. [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve seen more jackets in the last few months than a model for Burlington Coat Factory does in the length of a ten season contract.  My reflections have more or less been about why its assumed consumers need elaborate, more complex visual aids to [...]]]></description>

I keep going back to &#8220;The Velveteen Rabbit&#8221; -  something is not real until you&#8217;ve worn away its nose, had its eyes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I did a little research on some of the books that were banned over the last century; and I just don&#8217;t understand the audacity of people who want books banned, and which ones they challenge.
My first question, and maybe one of the most important for society to think about, is how can an educational institute [...]]]></description>
