Amidst the storm of scandal and turmoil surrounded the death of their father Michael and the matters of his estate, the Jackson kids maintained some level of adolescent normalcy with a trip to the library in Los Angeles this afternoon (November 17).

Paris, Prince and Blanket were accompanied by Jermaine Jackson’s sons Jafaar and Jermajesty and two older women.

As they exited the library, Prince could be seen holding up his books in exaltation as they walked back to the car. Prince checked out the book Choose Your Own Adventure: Moon Quest while big sister Paris left with The Tale of Despereaux and Blanket chose the cartoon book Garfield: Beast in the Basement.

Three young readers in one household is yet another testament to MJ’s good parenting. RIP.
