A Special Thank You to Our Members from a School Librarian for Our Book Donation
 
Thank you very much for your extremely generous donation toward library books for our school.  This donation will help us continue the work of building a library collection that reflects our student population. 
 
This donation allows for collection expansion in hopes that students can continue to develop their independent reading lives. My hope is as we offer diverse and engaging resources for students, more resources that express diversity will arise as more diverse voices will see that their authorship is vital. 
We are creating diverse readers and thus creating new or future authors.
 
Thank you for your help in this work!
