To further the joy of reading with the elementary and middle school age kids in the neighborhood, and also to have a few books in my substitute teacher bag.
As a newly retired teacher, I want to continue my passion of instilling in others a love for reading and learning and growing as decent human beings.
Building a diverse library for the kids around town in our free little library is on my to do list as we like to visit and see what’s inside!
Diversity in books and art widens perspective and nourishes empathy. Diversity is improvement and progress for everyone.
