Below is a poem by Lucille Clifton that we will read and discuss in our first library class.

I hope it will inspire us as we think about what we want our library time together to be like this year.

May This Be a House of Joy

~Lucille Clifton

May this be a House of Joy.

May we be open here to dreams,

and to each other.

May all who enter in these magic walls

feel love and feel respect

for learning and each other.

May we be always friends to life.

May we walk in that friendship.

May learning live in this house.

May it never leave.


The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson
