Madison Reid is an 8 year-old girl from Cleveland, Ohio who is adorable as she is intelligent, she’s also an internet sensation. Madison recently gave an impassioned speech in support of reading at the opening of Little Free Library, stating,

The world needs books. What would the world be like without books? They fuel our mind like cars and gas. A car can’t go without gas. Our brains can’t go without books. The world needs books. We… need books. It would break my heart if one book was a lost. Just a page, just a word, just a letter was gone. I would be heartbroken. What would the world do without books? It would be empty. Like a bucket without water, like a brain without knowledge, like a file cabinet without papers. We… need books.

Madison’s mother is a steward for one of the 5 little free libraries in the area. For more information on The Little Free Library, check them out on Facebook.
