Current Projects
Culturally Responsive Classroom libraries
The goal of this project is simple:
Get culturally responsive titles into Durham schools.
We conduct book fairs, nights out, and other fund raising efforts to collect and purchase books from our wish list and then get them into classroom libraries across Durham.
