He doesn't have any...Yeah, it's a tough situation. He doesn't have any other books (besides the ones we brought him) because his mother basically fled a horrendous situation with her child and the clothes on their backs. Period.<BR/><BR/>She went to a shelter in a town far away from that relationship, and she doesn't know anybody here and doesn't want anybody from her old life to know she's here. She had a job, ironically at the library, and the shelter found her a place to rent in a town some distance away. She has no car, so she lost her job.<BR/> When she can get to a library with some assurance that she can get BACK to the library in time to avoid overdue fines, they check out books. When they can't, he reads the phone book.<BR/><BR/>She's been in survival mode for a while, too, and is doing well to keep putting one foot in front of the other for a while.<BR/><BR/>I liked your post and your points, btw.Headmistress, zookeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071449326819510530noreply@blogger.com
