This week we’re sharing an excerpt from an episode of Down Time with Cranston Public Library in which host Tayla is joined by Martha from the Auburn branch and Rachel Brian, author of Consent (for Kids!): Boundaries, Respect, and Being in Charge of YOU! to talk about her book and why it’s important to teach younger kids about consent. You’ll also hear our regular segment, The Last Chapter, where we discuss a library or bookish question. This week they answer the question:  would you rather bring any one character from a book into our world OR  live in a book’s world but never meet your favorite character?
