One Reader, One Librarian, One Heart
Creating a culture of empathy one book at a time!
With equal parts gratitude, commitment, passion, and inspiration, Swartz is talking empathy. And how together, we can change a life.
School librarians are the heart of the school. And books, the reader's mirror, window, door. And friend. Let’s come together to create a culture of empathy, compassion, and kindness. Foster understanding. Cultivate a space where every child is heard and seen and honored.
One reader. One librarian. One heart. And one very good book. That’s what it takes to change a life.
Today, let's take that step. Together.
