Spelling of “Gujurati” language needs correction.
Correct spelling is “Gujarati”
Do you offer any educational stories for children?
We would like to listen stories in Turkish.
do you have to tell them what type of story you want?
It saddens me to no end to think that a library, of all institutions, can’t come up with a better story idea for young minds that an ogre who clubs 3 young girls to death while they are sleeping in their beds. What a sick world we live in. There should be a law against such dark thinking, especially where children are concerned. Why not come up with something intelligent and uplifting? The world is dark enough as it is without the Library’s sick contribution. What a shame indeed.
