When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔
He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature.
“The Library IS for Everyone” 💚

and ask--
What would Dr. Martin Luther King and John Lewis do if they were here w/ us today?
by Rose Blue and Corinne J. Naden is also one of our favorites on this topic! I reason it each year to one of my kids' classes.
My library just started loaning out cameras. The library is the happiest, safest, most interesting place in a neighborhood.

If you REALLY want to make a statement against this administration, BOYCOTT the Super Bowl. Hit ‘em where it hurts: their wallets.
