“After Tyler Weaver read 63 books between June 24 and Aug. 3 to win this year’s Dig Into Reading competition at the Hudson Falls Public Library, director Marie Gandron told a reporter from the Glens Falls Post-Star that Weaver ‘hogs’ the contest every year and should ‘step aside.’ ‘Other kids quit because they can’t keep up,’ Gandron said. Gandron’s declaration didn’t sit well with Tyler and his family. ‘When he heard what the director said [about him] he was very upset,’ Katie Weaver, Tyler’s mother, told TODAY. ‘He’s never seen being good at reading to be a negative thing. And he shouldn’t! He realized that the director was wrong.'”
