A mom’s simple after-school routine has captured hearts across social media, showing how a daily library visit transformed her reluctant 10-year-old son into an eager reader. Cortney Isham started taking her son Cole J and his 4-year-old cousin Fendion to the library each day after school, initially facing resistance from Cole J, who wasn’t thrilled with the idea.
The library visits began as a solution to manage the chaos of a new school year. Isham told Newsweek that the first week of school was hectic and their family dynamic had changed, leaving her unsure how to manage it all. She chose the library because it provided a healthy space that promotes curiosity while embracing silence, offering the perfect environment for the children to decompress after busy school days.
