To increase support and diversity in our community
I am taking the Read in Color pledge as our community library opens up to our neighborhood and we have children come and listen to books as well.
We choose to take the pledge because anyone can go anywhere when they open a book or in their real life! Don’t just dream it , believe it and do it! You’re amazingly special just the way you are!
I love learning about everyone’s stories!
