Reading Rainbow Kickstarter, Books for Kids, Librarians

I'm not really trying to promote this, just thought it was cool and wanted to share.

Reading Rainbow Kickstarter

If you go to their updates tab, there is a video they posted about when they reached their $1 million goal in just 11 hours! It's quite emotional!
