Summer Learning is going online this year! It is easier than ever this year for the entire family to read and learn together all summer long. And this year, for the first time, we'll be rolling out a special mission each Monday during the summer, starting on June 29th, that will challenge you to write a story, make sidewalk art, visit a park, and more. Your entire family can read along with programs for preschoolers, children, teens, and adults.
We're back! You can now request your favorite books from the library and pick them up from the curbside! How does all of this work? Glad you asked!
Children need to see themselves in books! They also need to see others. Here are some booklists, blogs, and articles to help your family select diverse, anti-racist books.
