Neil Gaiman: Why our future depends on libraries, reading, and daydreaming

On Monday author Neil Gaiman made a speech to the Reading Agency in London.  Since then, the speech has been transcribed and shared all around the Internet.  It's actually a beautiful speech, and it explains quite well why reading, and especially why reading for pleasure, is so important for children.  The speech is a bit long, but it's definitely worth it.  Enjoy!
