Stunt Double: Tom from buildingalibrary.com


Here at Stunt Dad, we are always looking out for fellow fathers who share our values and are out there fighting the good fight... Stunt Doubles, if you will. Every now and then, we like to feature a site that we believe you, the Stunt Dad Nation, will appreciate. This week's site, buildingalibrary.com, is run by Tom Burns. His mission is to build a library of meaningful books for his child. When asked why he started the site, he responded:
"I sat there, dumbstruck at the idea of being a father and what that meant. I knew, deep down in my core, that there were certain books, certain formative books that my kid HAD to read. Had to. And, while it wasn’t necessarily my job to force those books down his or her throat, it was my responsibility as a parent to make sure that my child had access to the right kinds of books – the important books, the funny books, the books that I loved or that friends loved or that someone, somewhere had said “this book MEANT something to me”. And that’s when I started to build a library.
Tom recently posted a great review for Zombie In Love, Kelly KiPucchio.  Take a read and if you like it, please be sure to check out his site.
