Anti-Racism Resources for Families
During these challenging times, we want to be sure to offer library resources for Yick Wo families as we all think about how to talk to our children about race and our history of oppression. Books can be a great catalyst for such family discussions. I have been and will continue to be reading books and articles to reflect on my own actions when it comes to race and strive to be a better educator/librarian for all our students.
