Reading expands our awareness, our minds, and our hearts!
Hello!
I am a K-8 visual arts teacher in a Chicago public school. We have a lending library in our school for students to use. Students check out our books and then return them to our library for other students. It functions like a Little Lending Library. Thank you!
Reading is a blessing for everyone to share and enjoy celebrating our diversities and backgrounds.
I’m taking this pledge because it is so important to get outside our comfort zones in all aspects of our lives. Reading is a great way to start being more diverse.
I believe in diversity. I love the authors who are tackling tough issues. Antiracict Baby is a personal favorite.
