Hey, kid, stop reading so much!

Here’s a head-scratcher. A library director in Hudson Falls told the Post Star newspaper that the top reader in her library’s annual summer reading contest is a contest “hog.” True story, read it here.

Yes, you heard that right. She didn’t say congratulations or great job or how do you do it? to 9-year-old Tyler Weaver. She said he is discouraging other young readers by being so good. They’re reading less than his 64-book-record and, so, boo-hoo for them and cut it out.

As you can imagine, Tyler, his mom and now countless Facebook readers are up in arms.

What do you think?Many books
