[Michlib-l] Aaron Yang on NPR

[Jake Rynicki]

He won a prize from us last Summer. When I told him we could not ship to California he sent us the shipping label to ship to him. So I did. He was actually very nice and pleasant. He told me due to certain health issues (which I will not disclose because it was a one-on-one chat) he was unable to leave home during the pandemic and was trying to keep busy. He mentioned to me he signed up all over the country and some would not send his prizes which he understood but was hoping I would send if he sent the shipping label. The prize he won was just a water bottle, not worth much, but he wanted it and overpaid on the shipping label. 

All in all he was a nice kid who just wanted to do something while bored at home. 

Considering all that, I would say Aaron Yang is just a veracious reader and we shouldn't squash people like him from participating. Just my opinion.
